Kelechi Iheanacho - Training with team Iheanacho (groin) has been training fully with the team Thursday ahead of Monday's clash with Newcastle United. "Kelechi was in training today and he'll be in full training on Satu...

Impact Iheanacho returned to the grass in full training Thursday and could be back on the pitch as soon as Monday. This gives him a couple of days to train and rest, potentially leaving him in good status against Newcastle. The team would love to have him ready amid their fight from relegation with just two matches left in the campaign.

Daniel Iversen - Blown away early Iversen made two saves and allowed three goals in Monday's 3-0 defeat against Liverpool.

Impact Iversen coped well for the opening 30 minutes before two quick goals from Curtis Jones opened the flood gates. Iversen kept the match close but the team in front of him never looked like scoring and a late wonder goal from Trent Alexander-Arnold sealed the match. Iversen has two tough tasks to close out the Premier League and try to dodge what has trended towards likely relegation.

Wilfred Ndidi - Busy defensively Ndidi recorded eight tackles (five won) and two interceptions in Monday's 3-0 defeat versus Liverpool.

Impact Ndidi had plenty to do behind the ball during Monday's one-sided loss, though despite his best efforts he failed to stem the goal-scoring tide. The midfielder has now gone nearly two full seasons without a Premier League goal-contribution, and has been held to just three chances created in 2022/23. Ndidi will need to be at his best in the final two matches as Leicester fight a narrow relegation battle.

Luke Thomas - Active off bench Thomas recorded one cross (zero accurate) and one tackle in Monday's 3-0 loss against Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 91st minute.

Impact Thomas came off the bench once more for just his 15th appearance in what has quickly turned into a season to forget. The full-back has struggled with injury and form, leading him to just nine starts and less than half the minutes he managed in 2021/22. With relegation a possibility and Thomas falling out of favor, he could see limited minutes in the closing Premier League matches.

Jamie Vardy - Shutdown in loss Vardy recorded two shots (two on goal) in Monday's 3-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Vardy managed just two shots during 90 minutes Monday, touching the ball just six times. It was a day to forget for the striker who simply doesn't have the goal-scoring touch he once flashed. Vardy's decline is here and it is sharp, in 2021/22 Vardy scored 15 times in 25 appearances, in 2022/23 he has scored just three goals.

Danny Ward - Out with dislocated finger Ward won't play against Liverpool on Monday due to a dislocated finger, Owynn Palmer-Atkin of BBC Sport reports.

Impact Ward wasn't going to start over Daniel Iversen at this point, so his absence likely didn't impact the starting XI. In Ward's stead, Alex Smithies will serve as the reserve keeper in the squad.

Caglar Soyuncu - Out until season finale Soyuncu suffered a hamstring injury and won't be available until the season finale against West Ham United on May 28, per Owynn Palmer-Atkin of BBC Sport.

Impact Soyuncu had started five straight matches before sustaining his hamstring problem. In those appearances, the central defender recorded one goal on five shots (two on target), 27 clearances and 12 tackles (eight won). Without Soyuncu in the starting XI, Jonny Evans will start for the first time since Oct. 8 against Bournemouth.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Sidelined with ankle problem Dewsbury-Hall will not play against Liverpool on Monday due to his ankle problem, per Owynn Palmer-Atkin of BBS Sport reports.

Impact Dewsbury-Hall was an unused substitute in two of the last four contests and came off the bench in the prior two matches. Depending on the severity of his ankle problem, the midfielder could be in danger of missing the remainder of the season with just three matches remaining.

Impact Iheanacho has missed the last two contests due to his groin problem and will be out of action for at least one more. In his last four contests (two starts), the forward recorded two goals on nine shots (six on target), two crosses (zero accurate) and three chances created.

Impact Pereira was included in the squad versus Fulham on Monday but didn't get onto the pitch. With some more training sessions under his belt, the attacking midfielder should be in contention to feature in the starting XI, having started four of his last six outings for Leicester.
