Trio of Leicester stars expected to return to starting line-up

After missing out on a place for Leicester City’s match versus Braga, a trio of Foxes stars are expected to return to the starting line-up against Fulham.

That’s right – hopefully Leicester fans are going to welcome back James Maddison, Jamie Vardy and Youri Tielemans to their starting eleven for their upcoming clash with Premier League relegation candidates Fulham.

The trio were omitted from Brendan Rodgers‘ Europa League team which started against Portuguese outfit SC Braga on Thursday evening. However, all three were introduced to the game as substitutes, affecting proceedings dramatically by immeasurably helping the Foxes attain the favourable result on the night. There is more about that later on.

Trio of Leicester City starters should return to XI

Demarai Gray, who is apparently wanted on a free transfer by Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham Hotspur, has been included in the provisional squad to play Fulham.

While Four Four Two suggests that Maddison, Vardy and Tielemans will be back for Monday’s match versus the Whites. Maddison created two goals against Braga; Tielemans pulled strings in midfield after coming on; whilst Vardy, predictably, bagged the equaliser. Here is what the publication said about the reinstating:

"Jamie Vardy, James Maddison and Youri Tielemans are expected to return to the Leicester starting line-up against Fulham."

Neutral supporters are hoping that the No.9 begins and scores or assists, because he is the gameweek’s most captained Fantasy EPL player.

Following their encounter with the Cottagers, Leicester will travel to Ukraine to face Zorya Luhansk. Although the Foxes could be boosted by the comeback of three injured starters for the contest – Ricardo Pereira, Caglar Soyuncu and Wilfred Ndidi – Rodgers’ men have actually already qualified for the next round of UEL fixtures. And the Northern Irishman is likely to shuffle the pack again against Luhansk.
