Harry Souttar - Possibly out Saturday Souttar is dealing with a hip injury and may sit out against Aston Villa on Saturday, Leicester announces.

Impact Souttar recently joined the club from Stoke City and was expected to make his debt this Saturday, however a hip issue may postpone it. "He had a little bit of a hip issue coming in. He's trained with the squad today, but he's one of the players I need to assess. If it wasn't for this weekend, he'd certainly be ready to go for the following weekend" said head coach Brenden Rodgers.

Jamie Vardy - Doubtful for Saturday Vardy (strain) will have his fitness assessed before Saturday's match against Aston Villa, the club announced.

Impact Vardy picked up a muscle strain during training this week and continues to be listed as day-to-day unless he passes a fitness test on Saturday. "Jamie hasn't done so much over this last period of time but he's out on the field, so we'll see what his reaction is like to that" said heach coach Brendan Rodgers. If he sits out, Patson Daka will start up top with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

Harry Souttar - Signs with Leicester City Souttar has signed a five-and-a-half-year deal with Leicester City from Stoke City.

Impact It's a big deal for Souttar, who made a name for himself internationally at the World Cup for Australia. He's a towering center-back, who battled an injury earlier in the season but has been a regular at Stoke the last few campaigns. He figures to immediately fight for starts on the Leicester back line that has struggled for consistency all season.

Jamie Vardy - Sidelined with muscle injury Vardy will be sidelined for multiple weeks after sustaining a muscular injury in training, Rob Tanner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Vardy picked up the muscular issue in training and will now be sidelined for a couple weeks. The forward has seen a largely rotational role in this latter stage of his career, though he has still been effective during limited minutes on the pitch.

Dennis Praet - Gets minutes in Cup win Praet (undisclosed) played 27 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 1-0 FA Cup win against Walsall.

Impact Praet was expected to be fine and he was brought onto the pitch with the score level, so it's clear he still has some kind of role in the side. Granted, he came on for James Maddison, who still isn't 100 percent fit. For now, Praet is expected to keep this minimal bench role, though the addition of Tete doesn't help playing time.

Tete - Joins Leicester Tete has completed a transfer from Lyon to Leicester, Leicester announced Sunday.

Impact Tete is headed to England to sign with Leicester, where he will hope to bolster the struggling attack. The winger has been excellent in Lyon with eight goal contributions in 17 appearances. He will certainly face a tougher task in England, but should still be an immediate threat.

Tete - Ruled out versus Ajaccio Tete didn't make the 20-man squad for Sunday's match versus Ajaccio with an undisclosed injury.

Impact Tete's return timetable remains unclear. With Malo Gusto also out Sael Kumbedi should operate on the right flank while Rayan Cherki should start in a number 10 role.

Ryan Bertrand - Working with youth team Bertrand (knee) has been working with the U21 team and is working his way back into the first-team squad, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact There's a decent chance Bertrand doesn't appear for Leicester this season unless he looks really good in training and is completely fit. His move from Southampton hasn't gone as planned, as injuries have derailed that and the recent addition of Victor Kristiansen likely means Bertrand could be on his way out.

Ricardo Pereira - Working way back into team Pereira (Achilles) is expected to get time with the youth teams before returning to the first-team squad, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "He's getting his movements again. H...

Impact Pereira is training and all seems well, but he'll need about a month of full training before he's pushed back onto the pitch given the injury. He'll likely compete in multiple youth matches before returning to the senior team, meaning he may still be another month out from minutes for the Foxes.

Wilfred Ndidi - Could train next week Ndidi (strain) will be on the grass Friday and could join team training next week, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact It's a good sign for Ndidi, who may only have to miss one or two league matches. He's struggled to stay healthy and find form this season, which has also kind of coincided with Leicester's overall struggles. Unless he can return quicker than expected, Nampalys Mendy should get at least one more start.

Dennis Praet - Expected to be fine Praet (undisclosed) is already back in training, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "There's was a lot of pain but no ligament damage."

Impact It's a boost for Praet, who has dealt with a couple injuries in the last month, which has come from more playing time. Unfortunately for him, everyone else is getting healthy, which means the minutes and starts may no longer be there for him once league play resume.

Jonny Evans - Should join training soon Evans (calf) is expected to join team training within the next 10 days, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "He's out on the grass with the rehab team. Hopefully, over a week to...

Impact Evans has been out since October due to a nagging calf injury that he already returned too early from back in December. He'll likely take things slow and then the hope is he'll have full fitness and healthy by the end of February. The question is if he'll come right back into the starting XI again, replacing Daniel Amartey or Wout Faes at center-back.

JANUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Victor Kristiansen - Working on fitness Kristiansen is three weeks into his pre-season and continue to work on fitness, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact Kristiansen will be in the squad for upcoming matches, but he won't be thrown into the starting XI having been on break prior to signing. He should immediately fight for playing time at left-back where Luke Thomas has been used the majority of the season due to other injuries in the side.

Ayoze Perez - Expected to return for cup match Perez (strain) "should be back" for next weekend's FA Cup clash against Walsall, Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers announced Saturday.

Impact Perez has missed Leicester's last two games with a muscular injury he picked up in the Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle on Jan. 10, but he is expected to be available for next weekend's FA Cup match and then the Premier League clash with Aston Villa the following weekend.
