Ryan Bertrand - Bench option against Chelsea Bertrand (knee) is available off the bench in Saturday's game versus Chelsea.
Impact Bertrand is good to go after missing some time before the break due to a knee injury. His role has been spotty so far as he has played in just four games, tallying 12 crosses, eight tackles and six clearances.

James Michael Justin - Expected to feature for U23 side Justin (knee) will play for the U23 squad in the coming weeks as part of his recovery. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "JJ looks like he's never been away, but we just have...
Impact Justin has yet to get onto the pitch this season but appears to be trending in the right direction. Given his extended layoff, the defender will likely be eased back onto the pitch with some substitute appearances before getting a crack at the starting XI. Once fully fit, Justin should offer solid fantasy value given his ability to push the attack from the backline.

Marc Albrighton - Resumes training Albrighton (undisclosed) is back training with the first team and could be in the mix against Chelsea on Saturday. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "Marc has been back train...
Impact Albrighton has been out of action since Oct. 20 versus Spartak Moscow. The midfielder has started just twice for the club this season, so he is far from a lock for the starting XI even once given the all-clear.

Youri Tielemans - Confirmed out extended period Tielemans will be out "a few more weeks" because of a calf injury, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.
Impact Tielemans suffered the injury just before the break and he still has a timeline of multiple weeks despite it being two weeks later. It looks like he'll be out the next two weeks, if not more, which means another change in the starting XI for Leicester. Tielemans has been massive for the club the last few seasons and this is his first true extended absence since becoming a regular in the 2019/20 campaign.

Nampalys Mendy - Full go over international break Mendy (groin) started and went 88 minutes in a recent win for Senegal over the international break.
Impact Mendy had been playing with the U23s, so it was unclear where he was at fitness wise in a return from a groin injury. It seems like he's ready to compete for time with the senior team, though despite making 23 appearances last season, the addition of Boubakary Soumare is unlikely to help playing time.

Wilfred Ndidi - Makes seven clearances in draw Ndidi made six tackles (four won), two interceptions and seven clearances, took one off-target shot and picked up a yellow card in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Leeds.
Impact Ndidi co-led his side in tackles and clearances to help them earn the road draw. The midfielder also received his second yellow card of the season, though. He will now look to keep things rolling when they host Chelsea on Saturday.

Boubakary Soumare - Assists in road draw Soumare assisted one goal from two chances created, took one off-target shot, made four tackles (three won), one interception and one clearance in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Leeds.
Impact Soumare assisted Harvey Barnes' equalizer in the 28th minute to help them earn the road draw. That was his first assist in the season, while he also posted another good defensive outing. The midfielder will now face a tougher matchup against Chelsea on Saturday.

Kasper Schmeichel - Makes four saves in draw Schmeichel made four saves and one clearance during Sunday's 1-1 draw at Leeds.
Impact Schmeichel had a good outing, conceding once in the first half, but then holding Leeds' offense in the rest of the game to help them earn one point on the road. The goalkeeper will now face a tougher matchup when they host Chelsea on Saturday.

Youri Tielemans - Expected out multiple weeks Tielemans is expected to be out two-to-three weeks because of a calf and ankle injury suffered over the weekend, reports HLN.
Impact This is a somewhat positive update on Tielemans, who may only be out one league match, which comes at home against Chelsea. Still, he's the engine in the midfield for the Foxes, having started every league match this season. Fortunately, Leicester recently got back Wilfred Ndidi from injury, so that'll definitely help against the Blues.

Ryan Bertrand - Misses Leeds draw Bertrand wasn't in the squad for Sunday's 1-1 draw against Leeds because of a knee injury.
Impact Bertrand picked up the issue midweek in Europa League play and it forced him to miss Sunday's match. He's struggled to find time in the early season, partly due to injuries and a new one is unlikely to help time in league play.
NOVEMBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Youri Tielemans - Leaves late with calf issue Tielemans had three shots (one on target) and five crosses (one accurate) before leaving in the 77th minute of Sunday's 1-1 draw against Leeds because of a calf issue. According to...
Impact This isn't a good sign for Tielemans, but there's a chance it's only a minor issue and he'll be able to recover over the break. He's a massive part of the midfield for Leicester and if forced to miss time, it'll undoubtedly force them to change formations and tinker the starting XI.
