Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Sent off Tuesday Dewsbury-Hall was sent off during the second half of Tuesday's clash with Aston Villa.

Impact Dewsbury-Hall was shown a pair of second half yellow cards and handed his marching orders Tuesday. The sending off will see him suspended for one match, a Saturday clash with Bournemouth. Dewsbury-Hall will be first eligible to return during an April 15 trip to Manchester City.

Jonny Evans - Absence continues Evans (undisclosed) will not be available to face Aston Villa on Tuesday.

Impact Evans has logged just one minute off the bench in the club's last 19 Premier League contests. At this point, the central defender should probably be considered out indefinitely with no clear timeline for his return to the pitch. Still, prior to getting hurt, Evans did start all nine matches to open the season nd could be in contention to reclaim a spot in the starting XI.

Dennis Praet - Makes bench Tuesday Praet (leg) will be available off the bench against Aston Villa on Tuesday.

Impact Considering Praet made just one appearance in the starting XI in his last seven contests, his absence from the starting XI shouldn't come as a surprise. The midfielder figures to remain primarily a substitute option moving forward, limiting his ability to produce in fantasy contests.

Wilfred Ndidi - Makes seven clearances at Palace Ndidi registered two tackles (one won), seven clearances and six interceptions in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Crystal Palace. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 89th mi...

Impact Ndidi had a great defensive performance during the game, but couldn't help them avoid the comeback loss on the road. The midfielder led his side in both clearances and interceptions. He received his fourth yellow card in the season as well, and will need to be extra careful now.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Makes five blocks in loss Dewsbury-Hall registered two crosses (two accurate), three tackles (two won), two clearances, five blocks and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss versus Crystal Palace. In ad...

Impact Dewsbury-Hall had a good defensive outing, but it wasn't enough to help them avoid the road loss, even after scoring the opener in the second half. The midfielder led his side in blocks during the match. He also received his third yellow card so far, though.

Timothy Castagne - Assists in road loss Castagne assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Crystal Palace.

Impact Castagne assisted Ricardo Pereira's opener in the 56th minute, but they couldn't hold the lead and allowed the comeback. The right-back now has three assists in the season, to go with one goal. He also led his side and mathed his season-high in tackles during the game.

Ricardo Pereira - Scores opener as sub Pereira scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace.

Impact Pereira subbed on after halftime and scored the opener in the 56th minute -- but it wasn't enough to avoid the road loss. That was his first goal in the season, to go with one assist. The right-back logged his sixth appearance (three starts) since recovering from an Achilles injury suffered in August.

APRIL 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Daniel Iversen - Scores own goal in loss Iversen had eight saves, but scored an own goal in Saturday's 2-1 loss against Crystal Palace.

Impact Iverson had a game to forget, conceding twice in the second half and being credited with the own goal in the 59th minute. That was his second start in the season since taking over from Danny Ward. He will now look to bounce back against Aston Villa on Tuesday.

Harry Souttar - Starting as expected Souttar is fit and in the starting Xi for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Souttar returns as expected from an ankle knock to take up a role in Leicester's back four. The center back partners Wout Faes in defense having yet to help his club keep a clean sheet in his seven appearances since joining in January.

Dennis Praet - Out with leg injury Praet is not in the match day squad to face Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Impact Praet misses out on Saturday's match after picking up a leg injury on international duty with Belgium. The midfielder will hope to return in time for Tuesday's match against Aston Villa.

Victor Kristiansen - Starting against Palace Kristiansen is fit and in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Kristiansen returns from an ankle injury in time to start for Leicester on Saturday. The fullback has sent in 11 crosses and created four chances in his four appearances.

Jonny Evans - Remains out Saturday Evans is not in the match day squad to face Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Impact Evans is out of the match despite returning to training in the buildup. Harry Souttar and Wout Faes start in the center of Leicester's back four.

Dennis Praet - Dealing with leg injury Praet will be a game time decision for Saturday's clash against Crystal Palace after returning from international duty with a dead leg, according to manager Brendan Rodgers in his...

Impact Praet was an unused substitute in both of Belgium's international fixtures during the March window, but he's returned to Leicester with a leg injury that will need to be assessed before the Palace match this weekend. Even when fit, he has started just five Premier League games mostly from the right wing this season.

Jonny Evans - Back in training Evans (hamstring) has returned to training with Leicester City ahead of the Crystal Palace clash at the weekend, manager Brendan Rodgers announced at his press conference Thursday.

Impact Multiple injuries have limited Evans to just one Premier League appearance off the bench since early October, and most recently he missed the draw with Brentford just before the international break with a hamstring injury. He's making progress with his recovery as he's been able to return to training this week, but he'll still be questionable to face Palace on Saturday.

Harry Souttar - Expected to play Saturday Souttar is expected to be fine for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "It's a big thanks to Australia. [Souttar] had a slight knock on h...

Impact It's a positive update on Souttar, who should be ready to start Saturday against Palace. He's been a regular for the Foxes since joining the club and seems set to remain in the XI next to Wout Faes even with Daniel Amartey and Jonny Evans both seemingly near full fitness.

MARCH 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Victor Kristiansen - Should be option out of break Kristiansen (ankle) has been training and should be an option Saturday against Crystal Palace, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "He's trained this week so we'll assess him fin...

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. At this point, it seems like those two and Timothy Castagne will be fighting for minutes at full-back the rest of the way.

MARCH 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Youri Tielemans - Suffers injury setback Tielemans suffered a setback with his ankle injury and will be on the sidelines longer than expected, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "He was due to train this week. He was t...

Impact It's unfortunate for Tielemans, who has already been out a month. Once ready to train again, he'll likely need multiple weeks to get back his fitness and health, given this setback. In his absence, Rodgers has used a variety of players in the midfield with both Wilfred Ndidi and Nampalys Mendy receiving starts.
