Started in loss Justin registered two shots (zero on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Thursday's 2-0 defeat against West Ham United.
Impact Justin was deemed fit to play by manager Ruud van Nistelrooy and got the start after missing the Foxes match against Brentford (foot). The defender had a busy match, recording three tackles (one successful), three clearances, one block and one interception while trying to subdue the Hammers attacks. The 27-year-old is not known for his offensive skills, with only two goals and one assist on the season, but his defensive work rate makes up for it.

Starting vs. West Ham Justin (foot) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against West Ham United.

Impact Justin will be a late call for Thursday, with the defender set to be assessed and see some testing ahead of the contest, hoping to pass and be fit enough to compete. This comes after missing their last match due to a foot injury, looking to keep it at only one match out due to the issues. He is their regular starter at right-back and will look to see that spot once fit, with Woyo Coulibaly as a possible replacement if he misses out again.

Remains out Justin (foot) is out for Friday's match against Brentford.
Impact Justin has not made the call after seeing the questionable tag, with his foot injury still being too much to compete. However, with the defender seeing the questionable tag, he could be in for a return soon. That said, he will look to return within the next week or two, with the club's next contest against West Ham on Thursday.

Impact Justin is a late call for Friday's match after exiting the club's last contest early. He has yet to train with the team, so it appears he more than likely will not play, although, with two days until the match, a lot can change. He will likely have to pass a fitness test ahead of the contest just to be an option, hoping to see his regular starting spot if fit. That said, this would force a change if he were left out, with Woyo Coulibaly as a possible replacement.

Impact Justin suffered an injury in the 43rd minute right before halftime and could not wait until the break to be substituted, suggesting the injury could be serious.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE
Three shots during loss Justin had three shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-0 defeat versus Manchester City.
Impact Justin saw a strange day from his right-back spot Sunday, as the defender would see most of his stats in the attack, notching one cross and three shots compared to his one block in the defense. This could be a good sign for the defender, as he has been consistent in the defense but a more attacking presence could raise his value. He still has only missed one game all season, starting in all 18 of his appearances.

Assists match winner Justin created an assist in Saturday's 1-0 victory against AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 64th minute.

Incredible brace in defeat Justin scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 4-2 loss versus Arsenal.
Impact Justin provided his first goal return of the season, scoring a brace that nearly kept his side in the game against Arsenal until added time. His 63rd-minute equaliser was an incredibly special outside-of-the-foot volley that curled into the far corner. This type of goal is difficult to replicate, particularly against top opposition. In fact, before this game, he had only ever scored two goals in his entire Premier League career.

Fails to return to action Justin (Achilles), as expected, was never able to get back onto the pitch for Leicester City this season.
Impact Justin will probably be hard-pressed to be ready for the start of the 2023-24 campaign after undergoing Achilles surgery back in November. Additionally, the fact that he is recovering from a long-term injury and is under contract through 2026, Justin will likely have to remain with Foxes in the second-tier Championship.

Suffers ruptured Achilles Justin will likely miss the rest of the season with a ruptured Achilles suffered in Wednesday's EFL Cup match, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "Sadly, he'll have an operation...
Impact Justin gets the worst possible news after he was stretchered off the pitch in Wednesday's win over Newport County. He made 14 starts over the first half of the season, keeping four clean sheets. As he also missed much of the previous campaign with a knee injury a growing body of evidence shows that Justin has been an injury-prone player early in his career. Luke Thomas is one candidate to take over for Justin as the starting-left back over the rest of the season. Unfortunately for Leicester, fellow full-back Ricardo Pereira is also in the middle of his recovery from a ruptured Achilles.

Impact Justin scored before coming off, and the tackle that saw him stretched off was truly a minor looking incident. The defender's World Cup dreams could be in major doubt already as he seemed to be in major pain while being carried off. More details will likely come out before Saturday's trip to West Ham, though Justin is an extreme doubt for that match.
