Caglar Soyuncu - Set to return Sunday Soyuncu -- who missed Thursday's Conference League matchup with Rennes due to illness -- is expected to be available versus Brentford on Sunday. Manager Brendan Rodgers told report...

Impact Soyuncu should be a lock for the starting XI if deemed fully fit considering he has started all but one of his 29 appearances for the club this year. Given his limited offensive upside, Soyuncu won't offer more than mid-range fantasy value even if cleared to play.

Wesley Fofana - Plays 78 minutes in return Fofana (leg) started and scored in 78 minutes of Thursday's UECL match against Rennes.

Impact This was quite the match for Fofana, who got the surprising start in his first appearance of the season. Given the short turnaround, he probably won't start Sunday against Brentford, but his return is undoubtedly a massive boost to the Leicester back line coming out of the international break.

Marc Albrighton - Injured in UECL Albrighton was forced off in the first half of Thursday's UECL match with an injury.

Impact Albrighton was getting another start on a short week in a tie in which Leicester were leading by two goals. It's a wonder if this injury is minutes related, something that should be made clear by the injury. His possible absence could mean a return to the XI for Ademola Lookman.

Danny Ward - Undergoes knee operation Ward underwent a knee operation and will be out a number of weeks, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact Ward has yet to appear in league play this season, so this doesn't change anything for his role. That said, he's been the No. 1 for Wales in recent years and it will prevent him playing for the international team in the upcoming break.

Wesley Fofana - Traveling for UECL Fofana (leg) is in the traveling squad for Thursday's UECL match against Rennes, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact Fofana is recently back from COVID-19 and it looks like he's ready to contend for minutes again. It's unknown where his fitness level is at having been out the entire season, but he's a definite boost to the side going into the final couple months.

Ricardo Pereira - Plays 61 minutes in loss Pereira (hamstring) started and played 61 minutes in Sunday's 2-0 loss against Arsenal.

Impact Pereira got the start Sunday after dealing with a hamstring issue and he wasn't forced to go any longer with Leicester in need of goals. The good news is that he's mostly healthy again and should remain in the starting XI in league play, as it's unlikely he'll be asked to start midweek in UECL, as well.

Ricardo Pereira - Facing late-fitness test Pereira (hamstring) will be reevaluated prior to Sunday's clash with Arsenal. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "We'll have another check on Ricardo."

Impact Pereira was sidelined for Saturday's matchup with Leeds but could still be cleared to play versus Arsenal. After missing the bulk of the season due to a leg issue, Pereira has started three straight matches, in which he recorded one goal on six shots (two on target), six crosses (zero accurate) and eight clearances, before sustaining his hamstring issue. If given the all-clear, Pereira should be a near-lock for the starting XI where he is capable of pushing the attack.

James Maddison - Gets 10 minutes Thursday Maddison (hamstring) played 10 minutes off the bench in Thursday's UEL win against Rennes.

Impact Maddison was back in the squad Thursday after missing the league match over the weekend. Leicester were up a goal when he came in and Maddison simply needed some minutes on his bad hamstring. It may be a stretch for him to start Sunday at Arsenal, but at least he's well enough to make an appearance.

MARCH 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

James Michael Justin - Starts in UEL win Justin (hamstring) started and played 62 minutes in Thursday's Europa League win.

Impact Justin was back in the squad Thursday, his first since injuring his hamstring in the Feb. 13 contest. He probably won't be ready to start Sunday at Arsenal on a short week, but Leicester are thin at full-back and it wouldn't be surprising if he was pushed if able.

Leicester striker Vardy out several weeks with knee injury

Leicester striker Jamie Vardy will be sidelined for several weeks because of a knee injury

MARCH 9, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jamie Vardy - Out multiple weeks with new injury Vardy will be out for "a few weeks" after sustaining a knock to his knee in the 1-0 win against Leeds, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact It's yet another injury for Vardy, who made a splash in the win at Burnley and then probably started a tad too soon following his hamstring injury in the win against Leeds. Now, he'll face more time on the sidelines with a new injury, likely leading to more starts for Patson Daka.

MARCH 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Wesley Fofana - Extends Leicester contract Fofana extended his contract with Leicester City, keeping him at the club until 2027.

Impact Fofana signed a five-year deal two years ago and this contract adds two more years to that. It's a no brainer for the club given their defensive struggles without Fofana this season. The good news is that he's edging closer to health and should be an option soon.
