Leicester City’s No.6 has proven to be an important player for the Foxes this term since joining on loan from Rennes, scoring five goals already in our colours.

He was taken off at Ashton Gate, leading to questions from the media during Friday’s pre-Ipswich press conference, but Martí Cifuentes was able to report some positive news.

“We had to take a difficult decision during the [Bristol City] game,” he told reporters. “He’s a very important player for us. The medical [team] has done good work, he feels better and is available for tomorrow."

Aaron Ramsey, another player on loan, from Burnley, is also making good progress towards his recovery after being out of action since 25 October.

“Aaron is feeling much better,” Cifuentes added. “He’s been training with the group, looking good. Obviously, he’s now in the final stage, so hopefully we’ll have a good week with him and let’s see where we are at the end of next week.”

Jeremy Monga and Boubakary Soumaré, on the other hand, also remain out for the Foxes, with the former expected to return to training at some stage in the coming weeks.

“Not for tomorrow,” the Manager explained, discussing both. “They’re different cases. Jeremy, most likely, will start to train with the group next week.

“Unfortunately, he will not be ready for tomorrow. It’s a small muscular issue and we hope he can be ready for the next games.

“With Bouba, it will take a bit longer. With the tests, the specialists and medical team said to us it’s a small issue in his knee that will require some weeks. How many weeks, it’s difficult to say, but hopefully not many.”
