Kelechi Iheanacho - Ready going forward Iheanacho is back from AFCON and ready to feature for Leicester City going forward.
Impact Iheanacho has missed the last two league matches for Leicester, but he's plenty fit and should get starts in upcoming matches. Prior to leaving, he took the place of injured Jamie Vardy and now he and Patson Daka will likely split time up front, though Iheanacho likely has the edge.

Wesley Fofana - Set to join training soon Fofana (leg) is slated to resume training in approximately two weeks and could play at some point in February. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "He will look to join in the...
Impact Fofana has yet to make his season debut after suffering a fractured fibula back in August but appears to be trending in the right direction. Last season, the defender started 27 of 28 appearances and figures to factor heavily in the starting XI once back to full match fitness.

Ricardo Pereira - Pictured in training Pereira (leg) was pictured in training Tuesday over the international break.
Impact Pereira underwent surgery for a fractured leg a little more than a month ago, but he's already back in training. It's unclear where he's at fitness wise, but it's at least a positive update and he could be in the squad at some point in February. His return would be a boost given the recent injury to Timothy Castagne.

Wilfred Ndidi - Back with Leicester City Ndidi was pictured in training Tuesday over the international break after returning from the African Cup of Nations.
Impact Ndidi should be an option immediately after the break after missing two league matches while away. He figures to immediately come into the starting XI again, assuming he's fit. He's started in all but two matches this season when healthy and one of those he stayed on the bench because it was following an injury.

You can never write off Nampalys Mendy Once Leicester's record signing, the midfielder has been deemed surplus to requirements multiple times - but there may be one more reprieve

Daniel Amartey - Goes full 90 in return Amartey went the full 90 in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Brighton, securing seven clearances and a tackle won.
Impact Amartey only missed one match while away for AFCON and that makes his status in the team fairly obvious. Jannik Vestergaard hasn't worked out for Leicester and will remain the backup, while Amartey is now the No. 2 center-back with Jonny Evans out.

Ryan Bertrand - Set for knee operation Bertrand will undergo knee surgery this week and doesn't have a timeline to return, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.
Impact This likely puts Betrand out a couple months at minimum and there's no guarantee he'll play again this season. Once thought to be a significant piece when he joined Leicester earlier in the season, Bertrand is currently on four league starts and three more in Europa League.

Caglar Soyuncu - Makes seven clearances in draw Soyuncu made a block and seven clearances in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Brighton. He also won one of three tackles in the match.
Impact Soyuncu defended well for much of Sunday's game, but Leicester managed to once again squander a late lead as Danny Welbeck equalized for Brighton in the 82nd minute. After the international break he faces second-placed Liverpool, which have scored a Premier League-high 58 goals in 22 matches this season.
JANUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
James Maddison - Takes four shots in draw Maddison took four shots (one on target) and created a chance in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Brighton.
Impact Maddison couldn't find the net against Brighton on Sunday, but he's averaging 3.5 shots (1.75 on target) and 1.75 chances created per game in his last eight Premier League appearances since late November, with five goals and three assists in that span. He will be ready to take on second-placed Liverpool after the international break.
JANUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Harvey Barnes - Takes two shots in draw Barnes took two shots (one on target) and created a chance in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Brighton.
Impact Barnes was back in the starting lineup for the first time in four Premier League games on Sunday after recovering from an undisclosed injury, but his side once again squandered a lead late and had to settle for a draw against Brighton. He will welcome the upcoming international break before taking on second-placed Liverpool on Feb. 10.
JANUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Youri Tielemans - Takes three shots in draw Tielemans took three shots and created two chances in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Brighton. He also made two blocks, two interceptions and won one of four tackles in the match.
Impact Tielemans worked hard defensively on Sunday, but his side had to settle for a draw against Brighton after once again giving up a late lead. It won't get any easier after the international break against second-placed Liverpool.

Kasper Schmeichel - Concedes goal against Brighton Schmeichel made three saves but conceded a goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Brighton.
Impact Schmeichel was beaten by a Danny Welbeck header on Saturday as Leicester once again conceded late on from a winning position. He will welcome this international break before a tough Premier League clash against Liverpool, which have scored 58 goals in 22 matches this season.
JANUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Patson Daka - Scores goal against Brighton Daka scored a goal and made three clearances in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Brighton. He also won one of one tackles in the match.
Impact Daka scored his fourth Premier League goal of the season just after halftime on Sunday, but his side was pegged back late on for a draw. Still, Daka has two goals in as many games and he will be looking for more after the international break against Liverpool, which have conceded 19 times in 22 matches.
JANUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Bertrand - Remains unavailable Bertrand (knee) will not be an option versus Brighton on Sunday.
Impact Bertrand is continuing to work his way back from a long-term knee injury that has sidelined him since Dec. 9 against Napoli. Even once cleared to play, the defender may have to settle for a spot on the bench, at least to start, but could offer decent mid-range value when he does get the chance to feature.
JANUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Daniel Amartey - Available against Brighton Amartey (not injury related) will rejoin Leicester City ahead of Sunday's clash with Brighton following the conclusion of his international responsibilities.
Impact Amartey was absent for just one match for Foxes while playing in the Africa Cup of Nations with Ghana. The defender has started 13 of his 14 appearances for the club in EPL and UEL action in which he registered one goal on four shots (two on target), one cross (accurate) and 389 clearances.
