Dennis Praet - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Used sparingly in return to Leicester Praet made 22 Premier League appearances (six starts) this season after returning from loan last summer.

Impact Praet spent 2021/22 on-loan with Torino, but he returned to Leicester for this campaign and still is yet to nail down a consistent role throughout his time with the Foxes. The 29-year-old found the net against Aston Villa in February but mostly featured as the backup option to James Maddison on the right wing. He has one season left on his contract as Leicester moves down to the Championship.

Makes bench Tuesday Praet (leg) will be available off the bench against Aston Villa on Tuesday.

Impact Considering Praet made just one appearance in the starting XI in his last seven contests, his absence from the starting XI shouldn't come as a surprise. The midfielder figures to remain primarily a substitute option moving forward, limiting his ability to produce in fantasy contests.

Out with leg injury Praet is not in the match day squad to face Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Impact Praet misses out on Saturday's match after picking up a leg injury on international duty with Belgium. The midfielder will hope to return in time for Tuesday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Praet was an unused substitute in both of Belgium's international fixtures during the March window, but he's returned to Leicester with a leg injury that will need to be assessed before the Palace match this weekend. Even when fit, he has started just five Premier League games mostly from the right wing this season.

Adds to scoreline off bench Praet subbed into Saturday's match against Aston Villa in the 67th minute, scoring a goal and making a block and a clearance in the 4-2 victory.

Impact Praet's late goal Saturday after pouncing on a mistake from Villa's defense sealed the result for his side. This was his first score in the Premier League since September 2020 after spending last season on-loan with Torino.

Gets minutes in Cup win Praet (undisclosed) played 27 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 1-0 FA Cup win against Walsall.

Impact Praet was expected to be fine and he was brought onto the pitch with the score level, so it's clear he still has some kind of role in the side. Granted, he came on for James Maddison, who still isn't 100 percent fit. For now, Praet is expected to keep this minimal bench role, though the addition of Tete doesn't help playing time.

Expected to be fine Praet (undisclosed) is already back in training, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "There's was a lot of pain but no ligament damage."

Impact It's a boost for Praet, who has dealt with a couple injuries in the last month, which has come from more playing time. Unfortunately for him, everyone else is getting healthy, which means the minutes and starts may no longer be there for him once league play resume.

Off injured against Brighton Praet was forced off in the first half of Saturday's match with Brighton due to injury.

Impact Praet was forced off in the 35th minute after succumbing to an undisclosed injury. More information should be available following the match with Leicester's next Premier League match in two weeks.

Features off bench in loss Praet (ribs) subbed in for the final 25 minutes or so of Saturday's defeat against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Praet returned to the pitch Saturday for the first time since missing two Premier Leagues with a rib injury he suffered in late December. Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers said Thursday that Praet will continue to be monitored by the medical team in the coming weeks. He has started just three league games on the right wing this season as James Maddison has been the preferred option in the position.

Makes bench for Forest clash Praet is fit and in the match day squad to face Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Impact Praet returns from a rib injury to take up a role on the substitutes bench on Saturday. The midfielder starts from the bench but is available if called upon as he's yet to have a goal involvement in eight appearances.

In contention against Forest Praet (ribs) should be available versus Nottingham Forest on Saturday after manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "He's back in training with the squad and that was his first day...

Impact Even prior to getting hurt, Praet was far from a lock for the starting XI, so he may have to settle for a spot on the bench again if he makes the match-day squad Saturday. Given his lack of starts, Praet is unlikely to offer more than low-end fantasy value moving forward.

Limited in training Praet (ribs) has yet to resume full training and will miss Tuesday's Carabao Cup matchup with Newcastle United. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "Praet has been in quite a b...

Impact Praet will miss his fourth straight contest, including Saturday's FA Cup match against Gillingham, and should probably be considered doubtful at best heading into Saturday's matchup with Nottingham Forest. Even once cleared to play, the midfielder will likely struggle for regular minutes, making him a low-end fantasy target at best.

Could return versus Gillingham Praet (ribs) might be an option to face Gillingham in the FA Cup on Saturday. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "Praet's coming along very well. He's mobilised his side. He d...

Impact Praet has been a healthy scratch seven times in 15 possible appearances for the club, starting just three times. As such, the midfielder is far from a lock for the starting XI once given the all-clear, though a Cup clash could be a great opportunity for Praet to get back onto the pitch.

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still shelved versus Fulham Praet (ribs) was left out of the match-day squad to face Fulham on Tuesday.

Impact Praet will miss his second straight contest after having been forced off in the 17th minute against Newcastle United on Boxing Day. Prior to getting hurt, the midfielder struggled to break into the starting XI, being an unused substitute seven times so far this season. Without a clear path to regular minutes, Praet will be unlikely to offer more than low-end fantasy value.

Won't play Friday Praet (ribs) will miss out versus Liverpool on Friday. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "He won't be available either. He's still sore and struggling with his side so we'll...

Impact Praet was making his third start of the season when he was forced off in the 17th minute versus Newcastle. Given his limited minutes, the midfielder will be hard-pressed to offer much in the way of fantasy value. With James Maddison (knee) also sidelined, the Foxes will likely be forced to utilize Ayoze Perez in the starting XI.

Off with rib injury Praet was forced off in the first half of Monday's match with Newcastle due to a rib injury.

Impact Praet lasted just 17 minutes before succumbing to a rib injury after taking a knee from Joelinton. The midfielder was replaced by Ayoze Perez.

Impact Praet was in the starting XI after appearing as a substitute his last time out. He acquitted himself rather nicely across 70 minutes of play and was partially responsible for the match's opening own goal. That said, his one corner attempt was a short feed to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, so don't read into too much there. He was replaced with a fresh set of legs in Ayoze Perez during the 71st. With fellow midfielder James Maddison (suspension) set to return to the lineup next time out at Wolves, Praet likely heads back to the bench.

Impact Praet has played in just two of the club's six matches to start the season, making just one start in which he was subbed off in the 55th minute. Without a clear path to more consistent minutes, the midfielder is unlikely to offer more than low-end fantasy value this season.

Back to Leicester City Praet has returned to England following the loan spell at Torino, although the two sides are negotiating his return, TuttoSport informs.

Impact Praet was a key cog at Torino, but they did not have an option to buy him out permanently and have been able to come to terms with Leicester City just yet. The player himself admitted that he is keen on coming back despite the interest from other sides.

Decent in Roma game Praet sent in three crosses (one accurate), created one scoring chance, drew two fouls and won two duels in Friday's 0-2 loss to Roma.

Impact Praet turned in an okay shift in the season finale despite his side going down pretty easily. He has tallied two goals, two assists, 25 chances and 45 crosses (13 accurate) in 23 appearances (17 starts) this season, missing multiple months due to a foot fracture.
