Skipp could make his debut with the Foxes against Fulham on Saturday.

Patson Daka - Likely to miss opener Daka is likely to miss Monday's match against Tottenham after picking up an injury in Saturday's friendly, according to manager Steve Cooper, per Jordan Blackwell of Leicestershire...
Impact Daka exited the stadium in the boot following his injury Saturday, leading many to believe he will be held out for their season opener Monday. However, this has not been confirmed yet, with further reports on the player still having yet to be released. With Jamie Vardy (strain) already out, this could be a huge loss for the club, as it will leave the forward department lacking in numbers. That said, if Daka is left out, Stephy Mavididi is the most likely replacement at forward.

Impact Vardy has been out for most of the Foxes' pre-season tour after picking up a knock in their first friendly of the offseason. However, he is still affected by the issues, as he has yet to train and has been ruled out for their season opener. This will be a tough loss for the club after he scored 18 goals in 35 appearances last year, still a lethal striker despite his growing age. It is unknown when he will return, but expect Thomas Cannon or Stephy Mavididi to start in Vardy's place while he is out.

He saw decent time on the pitch last campaign, starting in 17 of his 27 appearances while notching three goals and one assist. The attacker will more than likely serve in anywhere from a rotational to a starting role, as he does hold decent talent and can be a decent contributor down the flank if given space to work with.
