Impact Kristiansen had started four-straight matches since joining Leicester, but his injury combined with the return of Ricardo Pereira means that starts won't be guaranteed out of the international break.

Solid defensively versus Arsenal Kristiansen generated three tackles (one won), four clearances and one interception in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal.

Impact Kristiansen was perhaps Leicester's best player on an afternoon where the Foxes just generated very little offensive activity. He did well to neutralize Bukayo Saka across the full 90 and was a huge reason Leicester only lost by one.

Cementing spot in starting XI Kristiansen has started two straight matches for Foxes in which he recorded three corners, five crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created.

Working on fitness Kristiansen is three weeks into his pre-season and continue to work on fitness, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact Kristiansen will be in the squad for upcoming matches, but he won't be thrown into the starting XI having been on break prior to signing. He should immediately fight for playing time at left-back where Luke Thomas has been used the majority of the season due to other injuries in the side.

Signs with Leicester Kristiansen completed a move from Copenhagen to Leicester, Leicester announced Friday.

Impact Kristiansen is headed to the Premier League after some strong seasons in the Superliga with Copenhagen. The defender can play on either side of the defense and had a role on set-pieces with Copenhagen, though he will likely be far more limited with Leicester. Luke Thomas hasn't been a shining star at left-back and Kristiansen could compete for the starting role immediately.
