TEAM NEWS: Leicester City injuries, player availability for Burnley

Leicester City face Burnley on Saturday as the Premier League returns. Which Foxes are injured, suspended and available?

Saturday’s contest versus Burnley comes at the right time for Leicester City. An international break, with the dual benefit of players being potentially rested and kept sharp in fine condition. They should be raring to go back into Premier League action as one of this season’s most impressive top-flight sides.

However, Burnley will be no pushovers – at all! Sean Dyche’s team are notoriously difficult to play delicate football against and are much more adroit at winning and generally skilled than some estimate.

Consequently, Foxes of Leicester suggest a slightly different formation and a tweak in personnel. Hamza Choudhury and Wilfred Ndidi will be able to stifle Dyche’s pugnacious two-man midfield easily. With Youri Tielemans ahead in a freer role with fewer restrictions. Ayoze Perez and James Maddison backing Jamie Vardy as more central support strikers also seems more desirable.

Leicester City availability

Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers assessed his squad, including an update on his star No.10, in a pre-match press conference on Thursday:

"“He’s [James Maddison’s] fine.”– Brendan RodgersVia: lcfc.com"

After an apparently “difficult week”, Jamie Vardy was afforded a few extra days off but will play against Burnley. Leicester’s manager also spoke about Dennis Praet’s availability:

"“Dennis hasn’t been with us this week. He made his first start and for personal reasons he’s stayed behind in Belgium. He’s played games so he’s not lost too much fitness.”– Brendan RodgersVia: LCFC Live"

According to the same outlet who formerly quote the Northern Irishman, all other squad members are ‘fine’ as well, and therefore available for the Clarets clash. Though we at FoL expect Leicester to line-up very similarly to how they have all season, with no major surprises. Possibly just Choudhury, as previously stated; especially now Praet is a doubt.
