Kelechi Iheanacho - Limps off holding groin Iheanacho (groin) limped off during the second half of Tuesday's clash with Leeds.

Impact Iheanacho was forced off with an apparent groin injury during the second half Tuesday. The forward made a darting run and was fouled before setting up a goal that was ruled off on a narrow offside. Iheanacho was replaced by Dennis Praet, who could see some starting time if the injury proves to be significant.

Harvey Barnes - Starting against Leeds Barnes (hamstring) was named to the starting XI versus Leeds United on Tuesday.

Impact Barnes returns following a two-match stint on the shelf due to his hamstring issue. Prior to his absence, the attacking midfielder was rolling with two goals on eight shots (four on target) in his previous four outings. While Barnes can produce some crosses, his lack of a corner-taking role will limit his overall fantasy production and make him a little goal-dependant in most formats.

James Maddison - Named to starting XI Maddison (illness) will be in the starting XI for Tuesday's clash with Leeds United.

Impact Prior to missing Saturday's meeting with Wolves, Maddison had started seven straight contests in which he garnered one assist, 15 shots (six on target), 35 crosses (16 accurate) and 19 corners. With his illness behind him, Maddison should return to being the primary corner taker for the club, making him a top-end fantasy target.

Harvey Barnes - Should be option against Leeds Barnes (hamstring) is back in training and should be in the squad Tuesday against Leeds as long as he has no after-effects, according to manager Dean Smith.

Impact Barnes has been training for a couple days, but he's been out since April 8, so a return to the starting XI Tuesday could be a stretch. Then again, it was a minor hamstring tweak and he's shown in the past he can play through minor issues. Still, if Barnes starts, it's hard to see him going a full 90, especially given that James Maddison should be back for Tuesday's match, as well.

Jamie Vardy - Should be available Tuesday Vardy (ankle) trained Monday and is expected to be an option Tuesday against Leeds, according to manager Dean Smith.

Impact Vardy had started each of the last four matches, producing just two shots with none of them on target. His best days are miles behind him and it's a wonder how he continues to get starts with Patson Daka and Kelechi Iheanacho both in the squad. Throw in an injury and Vardy probably won't remain in the XI Tuesday.

James Maddison - Expected to play Tuesday Maddison (illness) did a gym session Sunday and trained Monday ahead of Tuesday's match against Leeds United, according to manager Dean Smith.

Impact Maddison should move right back into the starting XI Tuesday in a massive spot against Leeds. Leicester got a key three points from Wolves over the weekend and as long as Maddison is fit enough to go, he should be an option for 90 against Leeds. While the goals haven't been coming, he remains the key piece in Leicester's attack, as most things go through him when on the pitch.

Daniel Iversen - Lets in one in win Iversen registered two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory against Wolverhampton.

Impact Since replacing Danny Ward in the net, Iversen has totaled 21 saves while allowing six in the last six matches.

Jamie Vardy - Comes off with ankle issue Vardy was brought off at halftime of Saturday's 2-1 win over Wolves after a collision with Jose Sa that left Vardy holding his ankle.

Impact Vardy rounded Jose Sa and was seemingly set to score before Jose took Vardy down and left the striker holding his ankle. Vardy was off the pitch receiving treatment as Kelechi Iheanacho slotted home the resulting penalty. Vardy has started four straight matches, but failed to score in all of them, and could find his way back onto the pitch if the ankle injury proves to be a problem.

James Maddison - Out with illness Maddison is out of Saturday's game against Leicester City due to illness, Jordan Blackwell of Leicester Mercury reports.

Impact The absence of the attacking midfielder represents a huge blow for the Foxes, as Leicester have won just one of the seven matches the England international has not taken part in. The next days will be critical to see if Maddison can recover before Tuesday's matchup against another relegation-threatened side in Leeds United.

Impact Evans has been limited to just one Premier League appearance off the bench since early October due to a litany of injuries, and he's only even made Leicester's match day squad twice in 2023. His absence Saturday will not have a big effect on the team versus Wolves.
