Assists on return Pereira provided one assist off the bench during Sunday's 4-1 win over Southampton.
Impact Pereira (hamstring) came off the bench for the final 20 minutes of the season after returning from a hamstring injury. The wing-back did well to earn the assist and it's at least a positive for him to end healthy after another injury-hampered season. He's battled a torn ACL, fractured fibula and multiple hamstring injuries the last two years, but as seen in his 23 starts the last two seasons, he will be used when healthy. He signed a new contract earlier this year and the hope is that he can find that health ahead of next season.

Doubt for final two matches Pereira (hamstring) remains a doubt for the final two matches this season, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "We'll see how Ricardo Pereira is in training and if he's available...
Impact Pereirea has missed the last four matches with a hamstring injury and seems like a long shot to start in one of the final two contests. There's no reason to push him through a hamstring injury with nothing to play for, though there's at least a chance he's on the bench in the final week.

Unlikely rest of season Pereira (hamstring) hasn't been in the squad the last two matches and is unlikely to feature again this season, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.
Impact Pereira was getting consistent starts to open the season, but another injury derailed that and he hasn't been completely healthy since. He's still struggling to find the form found in the 2019/20 campaign and will hope to get back his full fitness this summer.

Plays 61 minutes in loss Pereira (hamstring) started and played 61 minutes in Sunday's 2-0 loss against Arsenal.
Impact Pereira got the start Sunday after dealing with a hamstring issue and he wasn't forced to go any longer with Leicester in need of goals. The good news is that he's mostly healthy again and should remain in the starting XI in league play, as it's unlikely he'll be asked to start midweek in UECL, as well.

Facing late-fitness test Pereira (hamstring) will be reevaluated prior to Sunday's clash with Arsenal. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "We'll have another check on Ricardo."
Impact Pereira was sidelined for Saturday's matchup with Leeds but could still be cleared to play versus Arsenal. After missing the bulk of the season due to a leg issue, Pereira has started three straight matches, in which he recorded one goal on six shots (two on target), six crosses (zero accurate) and eight clearances, before sustaining his hamstring issue. If given the all-clear, Pereira should be a near-lock for the starting XI where he is capable of pushing the attack.

Unavailable against Leeds Pereira was omitted from Leicester's game-day squad list to face Leeds United Saturday.
Impact Pereira is nursing a thigh injury and will miss at least one game. It appears that Marc Albrighton is adapting to the role in this one.

Questionable versus Leeds Pereira (hamstring) is in doubt ahead of Saturday's matchup with Leeds United. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "We've got a couple of issues with Ricardo and James Maddison...
Impact Pereira started each of the Foxes' previous three contests after returning from a leg injury. In those outings, the right-back registered one goal on six shots (two on target), six crosses (zero accurate) and 12 tackles (six won). Once cleared to play, Pereira should be in line to reclaim his place in the starting XI and should provide solid top-half fantasy value.

Subbed off with hamstring discomfort Pereira took two shots (one on target) and created a chance in Tuesday's 2-0 victory against Burnley before being subbed off at the break with a hamstring issue. According to manag...
Impact Pereira was very active going forward from right-back against Burnley before being subbed out at halftime. He recently returned from a long-term leg injury that kept him out for the better part of three months, so his withdrawal Tuesday isn't a great sign. On a short week, it's unlikely he'll be in the XI next match, especially if he tweaked his hamstring.

Extends Leicester contract Pereira has extended his contract at Leicester City, keeping him at the club until 2026.
Impact Pereira has rarely seen the field the last two years because of injury, but Leicester know what he can do, highlighted when he started 63 matches across the 2018/19 and 2019/20 campaigns. If he can stay healthy, he'll hope to find that role again and there's a chance he closes this season as a regular after going a full 90 in the most recent contest.

Scores on return Pereira scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Sunday's 2-2 draw with West Ham.
Impact Pereira scored once on his return to Premier League action. The wing-back isn't a consistent goal-scoring threat, so it might not be worth chasing continued offense from Pereira. He has a favorable clash with Wolves next time out.

Returns in Cup loss Pereira (leg) played 25 minutes off the bench in Sunday's FA Cup loss against Nottingham Forest.
Impact Pereira's return was a bit surprising Sunday, as he'd been out for a couple months following a broken leg. He's dealt with multiple injuries the last two years and probably shouldn't be pushed back into the XI immediately, but there's a chance that happens instead of starting James Justin every match.

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.

Out with fractured fibula Pereira will miss six-to-eight weeks after fracturing his fibula in the recent league Cup loss, reports Rob Tanner of The Athletic.
Impact It's yet another severe injury for Pereira with the lone positive being that this isn't a torn ACL. Pereira has struggled to stay healthy the last couple years and now it's a wonder if he'll get to full fitness by the end of the season given more time away from the pitch.

Will be out extended period Pereira did not suffer another ACL tear but will be out an extended period, he revealed via Instagram.
Impact This is a somewhat positive update on Pereira, but it's another injury that will cost him playing time. He's struggled to get back to the form he found in the 2019/20 campaign and was only recently back from a hamstring injury that had him out more than a month.

Exits injured Wednesday Pereira was forced off in the 42nd minute of Wednesday's Cup match with an undisclosed injury.
Impact Pereira was recently back from a hamstring injury and this was his first appearance since Nov. 7, so an early exit isn't good. Even if it's not hamstring related, Pereira has had a variety of injuries the last couple seasons and this puts his status into doubt going into the holiday schedule.
