Dennis Praet - Limited in training Praet (ribs) has yet to resume full training and will miss Tuesday's Carabao Cup matchup with Newcastle United. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "Praet has been in quite a b...

Impact Praet will miss his fourth straight contest, including Saturday's FA Cup match against Gillingham, and should probably be considered doubtful at best heading into Saturday's matchup with Nottingham Forest. Even once cleared to play, the midfielder will likely struggle for regular minutes, making him a low-end fantasy target at best.

Boubakary Soumare - Ruled out for Cup contest Soumare (hamstring) won't be available versus Gillingham on Saturday. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "We're just waiting on clarification on timescales, but certainly for...

Impact Soumare was forced to leave Tuesday's clash with Fulham after just eight minutes due to his hamstring problem. Without a clear timeline for Soumare to get back onto the pitch, he should probably be considered a doubt for the resumption of Premier League action against Nottingham Forest on Jan. 14.

Dennis Praet - Could return versus Gillingham Praet (ribs) might be an option to face Gillingham in the FA Cup on Saturday. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "Praet's coming along very well. He's mobilised his side. He d...

Impact Praet has been a healthy scratch seven times in 15 possible appearances for the club, starting just three times. As such, the midfielder is far from a lock for the starting XI once given the all-clear, though a Cup clash could be a great opportunity for Praet to get back onto the pitch.

James Maddison - Nearing return to action Maddison (knee) won't be ready to play against Gillingham on Saturday but is making strides in his recovery after manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "It slow at the moment. We...

Impact Rodgers certainly left the door open for the possibility that Maddison would be ready to face Nottingham Forest on Jan. 14. The midfielder's last appearance for the club came just before the World Cup when he was forced off after 25 minutes against West Ham United on Nov. 12. As a result, Maddison failed to get onto the pitch for England and has missed the last three Premier League contests as well. Once cleared to play, Maddison should be a regular fixture in the starting XI where he'll offer top-end fantasy value given his corner-taking duties and offensive upside.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Won't play in Cup contest Dewsbury-Hall (undisclosed) will not be available versus Gillingham on Saturday. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "We're just waiting on clarification on timescales, but cer...

Impact Dewsbury-Hall's status heading into the next league matchup versus Nottingham on Jan. 14 should be considered in doubt, though per Rodger's comments, the team doesn't have a specific recovery timeline yet. Youri Tielemans figures to continue starting for Leicester if Dewsbury-Hall is sidelined long-term.

Patson Daka - Training ahead of Cup tie Daka (leg) took part in first-team training in the lead-up to Saturday's FA Cup matchup with Gillingham. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "We'll see later today and tomorrow...

Impact Even if Daka misses the FA Cup contest Saturday, it appears likely he will be ready to rejoin the squad versus Nottingham Forest on Jan. 14. The forward is currently stuck in an eight-match goal drought during which he has registered two assists, nine shots (four on target) and two crosses (one accurate). Despite the lack of goals, Daka should still be in contention for a spot in the starting XI once cleared to play.

JANUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Youri Tielemans - Leads Leicester in shots Tielemans took five off target shots, crossed twice (one accurate) and created a chance during Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Fulham.

Impact Tielemans was held off the scoresheet but not from a lack of effort as his five shots were the team-high in the loss. The midfielder has scored three goals and provided an assist in his 18 appearances, while being second on the club with 22 tackles won.

JANUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jamie Vardy - Takes two shots Vardy took two shots on goal, crossed once inaccurately and created a chance during Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Fulham.

Impact Vardy was held off the scoresheet but wasn't alone as Leicester were shutout on Tuesday. The forward has struggled this season, scoring just once in 18 appearances as he had lost his job to Patson Daka, recovering it only due to Daka's recent injury.

JANUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Danny Ward - Concedes once in defeat Ward allowed a goal while making a save during Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Fulham.

Impact Ward conceded the lone goal of the match in the 17th minute as Leicester dropped all three points on Tuesday. The keeper has now allowed 31 goals in 18 league starts while his lone save upped his season total to 54.

Boubakary Soumare - Comes off holding hamstring Soumare was forced off with an apparent hamstring issue during the first half of Tuesday's clash with Fulham.

Impact Soumare came up holding his hamstring after attempting a pass and had to be replaced by Marc Albrighton. The midfielder had started four matches in a row in defensive midfield and will be hard to replace. Soumare's first chance to return is a Saturday trip to Nottingham Forest, though he will be a heavy doubt for that match.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Late scratch Tuesday Dewsburg-Hall is a late scratch from Tuesday's squad against Fulham.

Impact Dewsbury-Hall was a late scratch Tuesday for an unknown reason with Wilfred Ndidi moving into the XI in his place, making Leicester a bit more defensive for their game against Fulham.

JANUARY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dennis Praet - Still shelved versus Fulham Praet (ribs) was left out of the match-day squad to face Fulham on Tuesday.

Impact Praet will miss his second straight contest after having been forced off in the 17th minute against Newcastle United on Boxing Day. Prior to getting hurt, the midfielder struggled to break into the starting XI, being an unused substitute seven times so far this season. Without a clear path to regular minutes, Praet will be unlikely to offer more than low-end fantasy value.

Jonny Evans - Targeting February return Evans (calf) will likely be out until February with his ongoing calf injury, according to manager Brendan Rodgers."Speaking to the medical team, it looks like it will be longer tha...

Impact Evans has had a tough run with the calf injury, it's a nagging muscular injury that has proven hard for the veteran defender to overcome. Evans hasn't played since early October and is now looking at almost four months on the sideline with the recurring problem.

Patson Daka - Ruled out Tuesday Daka (hamstring) is out for Tuesday's clash with Fulham and is still undergoing tests on his hamstring, manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters. "It looks that way (that Daka won't...

Impact Daka came off limping early against Liverpool and has now had a hamstring injury confirmed. While it's not clear how long he will be out it sounds like the answer will likely be weeks and not days. With Daka sideline Jamie Vardy will see more playing time in the starting XI.

James Maddison - Positive news from specialist Maddison (knee) won't be out long-term after seeing a specialist for a new knee injury, manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters. "He has had good news from the scan, which is positi...

Impact Maddison will need to clear club fitness tests but this is in most ways the best case scenario after the midfielder felt new pain in his knee. Maddison still has plenty of hurdle to overcome before getting back on the pitch after almost three months sidelined, likely giving Ayoze Perez at least two more starts against Fulham and Nottingham Forest.

Danny Ward - Busy in loss Ward made five saves and allowed two goals in Friday's 2-1 loss versus Liverpool.

Impact Ward stopped all five shots he faced but conceded twice via Wout Faes own goals. The goalkeeper actually made some incredible stops but comes away with a tough day on the scoresheet. Ward will hope for more help from his defense in the second half of the Premier League.
