Harry Winks - Injured early Winks came off with an apparent injury in the opening 10 minutes of Saturday's clash with Chelsea.
Impact Winks was injured almost immediately during Saturday's match, as he was forced off inside the opening 10 minutes. Oliver Skipp came on to replace him Saturday. Winks has been a crucial piece of the starting XI, and if he can get fit he should be back in the starting team for a Nov. 30 trip to Brentford.

Jordan Ayew - Fit for Chelsea tilt Ayew (knee) is available for Saturday's game versus Chelsea.
Impact Ayew passed a late fitness test but will begin on the bench as he's not 100 percent. He has scored twice and posted seven shots (four on target), one key pass and two crosses (zero accurate) in his last five appearances (three starts).
NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Bobby De Cordova-Reid - Available against Chelsea Decordova-Reid (lower leg) is on the bench for Saturday's clash versus Chelsea.
Impact Decordova-Reid is back with the squad after missing two matches. He has had a minor role after starting the first two games, logging just a dozen minutes throughout his next four appearances off the bench.
NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE
Jamie Vardy - Starting versus Chelsea Vardy (back) is getting the nod Saturday.
Impact Vardi has overcome a back issue that held him out before the break and will resume leading the line. He has scored twice in his last four starts, adding one assist, nine shots (two on target) and five key passes.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid - Uncertain about return Decordova-Reid (lower leg) is questionable for Saturday's match against Chelsea due to a cut, according to manager Steve Cooper. "Bobby has been on the training pitch, He had a cut...
Impact Decordove-Reid looks to be an option for Saturday at the moment, although that is subject to change, with the club leaving his availability put up to if his cut reopens or not. This will leave him as a true game-time decision. Luckily for the club, this shouldn't be a major loss if he misses out for a third straight game, as he has not started since the opening two games of the season.

Jordan Ayew - Late call for Saturday Ayew (knee) is questionable for Saturday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Steve Cooper. "Jordan has come back injured from international duty. It's not a serious injur...
Impact Ayew is facing a late decision to be an option Saturday, with his availability likely coming down to a late fitness test after suffering an injury over the break. This would be great news for the club, as he did start in their last match and could possibly start again if he is fit. However, if he is left out, Patson Daka or Odsonne Edouard is a likely replacement up top.
NOVEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Jamie Vardy - Questionable to face Chelsea Vardy (back) is questionable for Saturday's match against Chelsea, accoridng to manager Steve Cooper. "Jamie has been training with the group, but slightly modified, so we'll see w...
Impact Vardy's availability looks to be coming down to a late fitness test, having to pass to be an option after training this week. This would be a huge boost for the squad, as he is a consistent starter and has four goals this season, although he could start on the bench if an option following the injury. If that is the case, Odsonne Edouard or Patson Daka could take his spot.
NOVEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Patson Daka - Will return Saturday Daka (ankle) is an option for Saturday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Steve Cooper. "Patson's back in training. He's available."
Impact Daka is making his return following the break as expected, with the forward an option for Saturday's match. This will be his first appearance on the team sheet this season, as he will also hope to capture his first minutes. He started in 15 of his 20 appearances last season and is likely to see anywhere from a rotational to starting role now that he is fit, although a spot on the bench is only expected to begin after an extended absence.

Issahaku Fatawu - Tears ACL, done for season Fatawu (undisclosed) has suffered a torn ACL and is out for the remainder of the season, according to manager Steve Cooper. "It's not good, it's a serious injury. He's had an ACL i...
Impact Fatawu's testing has revealed the worst after going down with Ghana, as he will now miss the rest of the season due to a torn ACL. This is an unfortunate turn for the attacker, as he had started in their past three games and six games in total this campaign. This should allow Odsonne Edouard more time and grant Jordan Ayew more starts, along with a spot open for Paxton Daka once he returns from injury. Fatawu will now hope for no setbacks and to be fit for the start of the next season.
NOVEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
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.
NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
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.
NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
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.
NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
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.
NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
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.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
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.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
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.

Hamza Choudhury - Returns after lengthy absence Choudhury (shoulder) is in the squad for Sunday's trip to Manchester United.
Impact Choudhury returns for the first time since September, missing Leicester's past six matches. The midfielder has totaled just 14 minutes from one substitute appearance so far this season.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Bobby De Cordova-Reid - Missing third straight Decordova-Reid (lower leg) is not in the squad to face Manchester United on Sunday.
Impact Decordova-Reid misses out as expected after being a doubt in the buildup to the match. The attacker hasn't started a match since August.

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.
