Blackpool man absent from EFL opener amid recent Leicester City links
Blackpool take on Grimsby Town in the first round of the EFL Cup.
Franco Ravizzoli is among two new absentees for Blackpool on the opening weekend of the EFL season.
The Seasiders are in action away to Grimsby Town this afternoon in the first round of the Carabao Cup, with League One action getting underway in seven days time.
Ian Evatt’s side have been without several players at various points throughout their summer preparations, but are without two fresh players for today’s game.
Having featured throughout the majority of pre-season, Dale Taylor hasn’t made the trip to Lincolnshire, with the full extent of his absence currently unknown.
Meanwhile, Ravizzoli’s absence comes a week on from being linked with a move away from Bloomfield Road.
Alan Nixon reported that the Argentinian was attracting interest from Leicester City, having previously played under Foxes boss Russell Martin at MK Dons.
The 29-year-old made the move to the Fylde Coast last summer as a free agent, having spent two seasons with Wycombe Wanderers.
While he was initially signed to take part in an open fight to be the Seasiders’ first-choice between the sticks, he mainly found himself as a back-up to Bailey Peacock-Farrell, making just eight appearances last term.
