Ricardo Pereira

Ricardo Pereira is nearing a return after missing the end of 2019/20 and start of 2020/21.

Ahead of City's clash with Fulham, manager Brendan Rodgers said: "It will be the same squad. Some of the other boys are training. We’ve got the likes of Ricardo [Pereira], Wilf [Ndidi] and Çağlar [Söyüncü]… we’re hopeful of getting them some game time in Luhansk when we go there for our next European venture (next Thursday night). That’s great news for us, coming into a busy period, but otherwise we’re pretty much the same squad."

Scott Parker told the media prior to the game: "Kenny [Tete] came in, played the first couple of games and got an injury. It was disappointing and when you miss a quality player you want him back as quick as possible. But you have to be careful, be sensible with that decision and not rush. As soon as he’s ready and in a fit enough state to come and add his quality and help us, that decision will be made. He’s just slowly coming back into training with us now, albeit modified training. He’s been working hard with the rehab department, he’s on the right track now and I can’t see it being too long."

Jamie Vardy
Jamie Vardy

Jamie Vardy netted his 99th and 100th goals in all competitions for the Club against Fulham last year, with Harvey Barnes assisting the No.9's second of the game.

Leicester City's 3-1 win over Fulham at King Power Stadium on Saturday 9 March, 2019, proved to be a particularly memorable day for talismanic striker Jamie Vardy.

He unselfishly set up Youri Tielemans for his first goal for the Football Club before scoring a brace of his own to take him to 100 goals for the Foxes in all competitions. 

Manager Brendan Rodgers, after a victory during his maiden home game in charge of City, said of his electric frontman: "He’s an incredible player and I’m very lucky he’s here. I’m very happy he’s here, but it’s not just his striking. I think that defensively, I always like my central striker to be able to press and be tactically good.

"From this early period working with him, he’s tactically exceptional, I have to say. He understands what it is we’re trying to do. On top of that, he’s a real, real major threat in the game."
