Impact Lookman found the back of the net in the 41st minute scoring Leicester's lone goal. The goal was the fourth of the season for the attacker while he finished with the second highest amount of shots and chances created on the team in the loss.

Caglar Soyuncu - Starting Sunday Soyuncu (knee) is in the starting XI for Sunday's clash with Wolves.

Impact Soyuncu is in the starting XI after picking up a knee injury during Thursday's UECL match. It appears not to have been a serious injury as the defender is straight back into the starting XI.

James Maddison - Available Sunday Maddison (undisclosed) is on the bench for Sunday's clash with Wolves.

Impact Maddison is available Sunday after picking up an issue with his chest at the end of Thursday's UECL match. It's good for everyone involved that the creative winger is available for selection once more. Maddison will hope to test his fitness with a late cameo.

Ricardo Pereira - Extends Leicester contract Pereira has extended his contract at Leicester City, keeping him at the club until 2026.

Impact Pereira has rarely seen the field the last two years because of injury, but Leicester know what he can do, highlighted when he started 63 matches across the 2018/19 and 2019/20 campaigns. If he can stay healthy, he'll hope to find that role again and there's a chance he closes this season as a regular after going a full 90 in the most recent contest.

Caglar Soyuncu - Picks up knee issue Thursday Soyuncu was forced off late with a knee issue in Thursday's UECL win against Randers.

Impact Soyuncu is one of the only healthy true center-backs that Leicester has at the moment, so his situation needs to be monitored ahead of Sunday's match. If he can't go, Jannik Vestergaard could be set for another start, or they could turn to either Hamza Choudhury or Wilfred Ndidi at center-back next to Daniel Amartey.

James Maddison - Exits in UECL match Maddison was forced off and was getting his pulse checked after playing 20 minutes in Thursday's UECL match. According to manager Brendan Rodgers, he's going through precautionary...

Impact More information on Maddison should be revealed in the next 24 hours, but it's definitely an alarming situation, even with some reassurances from the manager. He's considered a doubt for Sunday's trip to Wolves. He came off the bench Thursday, so there's a chance Leicester use a similar squad in that match.

Jamie Vardy - Working way back to fitness Vardy (hamstring) is "on the field" and "running," according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "He's probably a couple of weeks away, 10 days to two weeks."

Impact Vardy was given an initial timeline of March and it looks like that's still the case. He could return to training in 10 days, but it's hard to see him pushing to return for that Feb. 27 contest against Chelsea. It's more likely he takes the full two weeks to get back his fitness and return once March hits.

James Michael Justin - Likely out multiple weeks Justin (hamstring) is set to miss a couple weeks after suffering an injury over the weekend, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "He's probably going to be a couple of weeks, tha...

Impact As expected, Justin was playing a lot out of necessity because of Leicester's lack of options. Now, he'll miss the next couple weeks leading to more time for Luke Thomas and Ricardo Pereira. The defensive situation continues to be a struggle for Leicester and the more matches they play, it only seems to get worse.

Kasper Schmeichel - Poor in draw Schmeichel made one save during Sunday's two-all draw with West Ham.

Impact Schmeichel only made a single save Sunday on the three shots he faced. It was a disappointing day for the keeper, who struggled on some savable shots. Schmeichel will need to bounce back against Wolves next time out.

FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

James Michael Justin - Comes off injured Justin came off injured during Sunday's two-all draw with West Ham because of a possible hamstring injury.

Impact Justin came off injured and was replaced by Luke Thomas at left-back. Justin is only recently back from injury and this muscle injury is likely related to being out for almost a year. Leicester can't seem to stay healthy on the back line and Justin's likely absence is another player they'll miss.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Six crosses in draw Dewsbury-Hall sent in six crosses (one accurate) during Sunday's two-all draw with West Ham.

Impact Dewsbury-Hall did well with a minor duty on set-pieces to send in six crosses Sunday. It's not a role he's had consistently this season, and it's not worth chasing major set-piece value from Dewsbury-Hall. Look for the midfielder to keep up the good form, even if not on set-pieces, against Wolves next time out.

FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Harvey Barnes - Assists Sunday Barnes provided one assist on two chances created during Sunday's 2-2 draw with West Ham.

Impact Barnes tallied his second Premier League assist during Sunday's draw, putting together a solid showing in the draw. It's been a disappointing season for Barnes who hasn't produced anywhere near the level he showed in previous seasons. Barnes will look for a late-season renaissance to turn it around. Next up is a clash with Wolves.

FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ricardo Pereira - Scores on return Pereira scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Sunday's 2-2 draw with West Ham.

Impact Pereira scored once on his return to Premier League action. The wing-back isn't a consistent goal-scoring threat, so it might not be worth chasing continued offense from Pereira. He has a favorable clash with Wolves next time out.
