Ryan Bertrand - Tests positive for COVID-19 Bertrand tested positive for COVID-19 and isn't in the squad for Saturday's match against Wolves.
Impact Bertrand was on set pieces in the Community Shield, but he unfortunately picked up COVID-19 and misses Saturday's opener with Luke Thomas taking his spot at left-back. There's a slim chance Bertrand will be ready for the Aug. 23 contest, depending on when he tested positive.

Willock joins Newcastle, Vestergaard to Leicester in EPL
Newcastle signed Joe Willock from Arsenal for a reported fee of around $35 million after the midfielder spent a successful spell on loan at the northeast club last seasonAUGUST 13, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jannik Vestergaard - Transfers to Leicester City Vestergaard joined Leicester City from Southampton on Friday. He's signed a three-year contract with the Foxes.
Impact Vestergaard looks like another smart signing for Leicester, as he scored three goals, made 50 tackles and kept six clean sheets in 30 appearances last season. Given the serious preseason injury suffered by Wesley Fofana, James Justin's torn ACL and an aging Jonny Evans, Vestergaard makes even more sense as he's likely to get plenty of starting changes early in the season alongside Caglar Soyuncu. With Kasper Schmeichel behind him as one of the more consistent goalkeepers in the Premier League, Vestergaard's numbers could look even better if he's able to stay in the lineup throughout the season.

Wesley Fofana - Undergoes successful surgery Fofana underwent successful surgery on his leg and ankle earlier this week, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "I think these injuries can be between four to seven or eight mont...
Impact It's more likely Fofana will be closer to that eight-month timeline unless he can recover quicker than expected. He'll have to recover from numerous surgeries and injuries, which is why the timeline is a bit unclear. Either way, he's out four months, at a minimum.

Jonny Evans - Aiming for international break Evans (foot) is aiming to return to full training during next month's international break, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "Jonny was out on the pitch today. The plan for him...
Impact It's unknown when this plan was made for Evans, but there's still no guarantee he's ready to start following a return to training. It's a nagging foot injury that can seemingly pop up at any moment, so until he gets at least a full week of training in, he probably won't be an option to start.

Timothy Castagne - Late test for opener Castagne (eye) is considered a late-fitness test for Saturday's opener against Wolverhampton. "We're just going to make a final decision on Timothy tomorrow (Friday). He's trained...
Impact Castagne has been training for about a week following his facial reconstruction surgery, which means he's unlikely to start Saturday's opener. While Leicester are short on center-backs, they have plenty of full-backs following the addition of Ryan Bertrand and return from injury of Ricardo Pereira.

Wesley Fofana - Set for surgery Fofana will undergo surgery Monday for a fractured fibula and ankle, which is in addition to knee ligament damage that was worse than feared, according to Sky Sports.
Impact Fofana will be out until at least 2022, but that could mean January or after the current season. He'll have to recover from multiple major injuries at the same time, which isn't helpful. While it depends on the severity of the knee injury, it'll take him a few months to recover from that and it's in addition to a broken leg and ankle.
