Luke Thomas - Available again Saturday Thomas (undisclosed) will be available for Saturday's match against Burnley, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact Thomas will be available again after missing last weekend's Cup match. He's needed because Leicester had some issues on the left side in that game, using a variety of youngsters. Thomas hasn't provided a ton of fantasy value this season, but he's gone a full 90 in seven of the last eight in league play.

James Michael Justin - Available to senior team Justin (knee) could be an option off the bench Saturday against Burnley, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact Justin is a nice boost to the squad, but it's hard to see him being ready to start in the next week or two. His first appearance in a year came last week with the U23s in which he only went 45 minutes, which likely means he's weeks away from a full 90 with the senior squad.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Available against Burnley Dewsbury-Hall (calf) is back and available for Saturday's match against Burnley, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact If fit, Dewsbury-Hall could make an immediate return to the starting XI after missing last weekend's Cup match. His absence was more precautionary, so while this is deemed a calf injury, he should be fine to start. The youngster has been a nice boost of late, starting each of the last five league matches.

Timothy Castagne - Status unclear for Saturday Castagne (dead leg) was not mentioned by manager Brendan Rodgers ahead of Saturday's match against Burnley.

Impact Castagne was a late scratch for last weekend's FA Cup and it's unknown if he's feeling better. The defender has been a regular in the XI this season and if forced to miss Saturday's match, Marc Albrighton is expected to slot in again at right-back.

Patson Daka - Available against Burnley Daka (hamstring) is back and available for Saturday's match against Burnley, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact This was the projected return for Daka and the hope is that he's fully recovered if given a start. Leicester have options up front, so he doesn't need to start Saturday, but given that Ademola Lookman isn't a true striker, it's possible Daka could move into the XI again.

Boubakary Soumare - Still suffering from illness Soumare is still suffering from illness and will miss Saturday's trip to Burnley, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact It hasn't been confirmed as COVID-19 for Soumare, but it doesn't really matter, as it's two absences for him because of an illness. With numerous other players out, Soumare's absence could mean that Hamza Choudhury moves into the midfield after serving as a center-back in the team's last Cup match.

Caglar Soyuncu - Expected back Saturday Soyuncu (hamstring) is expected to be available for Saturday's match against Burnley, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact Soyuncu has been out since the Dec. 22 contest with a hamstring injury, so he's been out three weeks. If he's available, he should be fit, but with any hamstring injury, there's a chance of recurrence if not fully recovered. Given Leicester's lack of options, he'll likely be in the XI Saturday, possibly next time Jannik Vestergaard.

James Michael Justin - Plays first half with U23s Justin (knee) played the first half in last weekend's match with the club's U23s.

Impact Justin is likely set for another appearance with the U23s, as he's been out for about a year and can't be thrown into the senior team right away. He's getting back his fitness and if all goes well, he could be ready to start for the senior team following the next international break.

James Maddison - Match against Everton postponed Maddison and Leicester won't play Tuesday against Everton due to not having enough senior players available.

Impact This isn't too surprising for Leicester, who played numerous youth players in their FA Cup win. They have a few attacking players available, but their back line is completely shot and the hope is that a few more days will be enough to recover some players for Saturday's trip to Burnley.

Harvey Barnes - Returns in Cup win Barnes (undisclosed) scored and went the full 90 in Saturday's FA Cup win against Watford.

Impact Barnes has been training for more than a week, so his inclusion Saturday wasn't surprising after he missed the team's last two league matches. While he was getting subbed off early a lot of times in the first half of the season, there's a chance he gets more time over the next few matches with Leicester lacking other attacking options.

James Maddison - Goes full 90 in Cup win Maddison (undisclosed) scored and went the full 90 in Saturday's FA Cup win against Watford.

Impact Maddison picked up an issue in Leicester's last league match, but that was Dec. 28, so he's had plenty of time to rest. Given the lack of options in the side, Maddison figures to be a key player the next few matches with possibly a more attacking role on board, depending how they line up without a true central striker.
