Issahaku Fatawu - Injured with Ghana Fatawu sustained an injury with Ghana and has returned to Leicester for assessment, according to his team.

Impact Fatawu left the team's match against Angloa due to injuries, leading to his eventual withdrawal from the team. He has yet to receive a further update, likely waiting until with his club. He has started in their past three matches, so this will force a change if he misses time, with Odsonne Edouard as a likely replacement.

Jordan Ayew - Headed back to Leicester Ayew has withdrawn from national team duty with Ghana due to injury, according to his team. "Jordan sustained injuries during the Angola match. Although Ayew completed the game, MR...

Impact Ayew is heading back to England following an injury, as scans revealed he was dealing with an issue after their match against Angola. They have yet to release the results of the scans, although it has been released it is a knee injury which is slightly concerning. He has started in five of his 10 appearances, so this could be a tough loss, with Stephy Mavididi and Odsonne Edouard likely to see more time if he sticks to the sidelines for a bit.

Jordan Ayew - Limited impact in loss Ayew registered one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-0 defeat versus Manchester United.

Impact Ayew led the line Sunday due to the absence of Jamie Vardy (back), but he struggled to make an impact in a central role. The lack of reliable options for the role suggests Ayew might remain in that position for as long as Vardy remains sidelined.

Mads Hermansen - Gives up three goals vs. Man Utd Hermansen recorded one save and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-0 loss against Manchester United.

Impact There wasn't much Hermansen could've done to avoid any of the three goals he conceded -- two were impressive strikes from the edge of the box, and the other was an own goal due to a deflection from close range. Hermansen has gone four straight league matches without a clean sheet, and a matchup against Chelsea after the international break on Nov. 23 doesn't bode well for his chances of snapping that drought.

Victor Kristiansen - Credited with own goal Sunday Kristiansen generated an own goal and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-0 loss against Manchester United.

Impact Kristiansen was tagged with the own goal when he got in the way of a Bruno Fernandes header, and his deflection prevented Mads Hermansen from making the save. Kristiansen looked overmatched most of the game, and the defender will try to bounce back after the international break. However, matches against Chelsea and Brentford do not look like easy fixtures for the Foxes.

Buonanotte Facundo - Suspended to face Chelsea Buonanotte will be suspended for the Nov. 23 match against Chelsea due to yellow card accumulation.

Impact The midfielder has been one of Leicester City's top performers this season, racking up three goals and two assists in 10 starts (eight appearances), so his absence will be greatly felt. He should return to the lineup for the clash at Brentford on Nov, 30, and Boubakary Soumare could be an option to take his place in midfield during his one-game absence.

Jamie Vardy - Sidelined with back injury Vardy didn't play in Sunday's 3-0 loss to Manchester United due to a back injury, manager Steve Cooper told media. "Jamie [Vardy] picked up quite a nasty knock to his back last wee...

Impact Vardy was sorely missed the 3-0 loss to the Red Devils, and it's unclear when the veteran striker will be ready to return to action. Vardy had started each of Leicester's previous 10 Premier League matches before missing Sunday's game at Old Trafford, and if he's forced to miss additional time, then Odsonne Edouard and Jordan Ayew are candidates to take his spot in the starting lineup.

Ricardo Pereira - Set for extended absence Pereira is set to miss four months with a hamstring injury, Rob Tanner of The Athletic reports. "Ricky's injury is more conclusive and serious, a serious hamstring injury, and he i...

Impact Injuries have been an issue for Pereira throughout the season, and the wing-back, who had been limited to just two appearances in the current campaign, won't play in the rest of the calendar year, with a potential return date hovering around late March or even early April. His absence shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions, and James Justin will likely play on the right side of the defense going forward.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid - Missing third straight Decordova-Reid (lower leg) is not in the squad to face Manchester United on Sunday.

Patson Daka - Returning after break Daka (ankle) is progressing well through his recovery, according to manager Steve Cooper."At the moment, it's about giving him the right training programme, seeing how he is and ma...

Impact Daka is nearing a return, and from the optimistic tone Cooper used he could have been an option Sunday, but isn't being rushed. Daka could return as soon as a Nov. 23 clash with Chelsea. When fit he should be in contention for a starting place straight away.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid - Heavy doubt Sunday Decordova-Reid is a heavy doubt for Sunday's trip to Manchester United, according to manager Steve Cooper. "Bobby missed Ipswich and still hasn't returned to the grass, He picked u...

Impact Decordova-Reid hasn't trained with the team since suffering the injury, so there's little chance he plays before the break. The good news is while the injury seems painful it seems unlikely to have any sort of lasting damage. Decordova-Reid's first chance to recover after the break would be a Nov. 23 clash with Chelsea. Stephy Mavididi remains the staring option on the left wing.

Ricardo Pereira - Substituted out on Sunday Pereira registered one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Ipswich Town.

Jamie Vardy - Assists on Saturday Vardy assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town.
