Turkey international Cengiz Ünder could make a return for the Foxes on Saturday.

Brendan Rodgers told the national media on Thursday: "Cengo (Cengiz Ünder) should be back with us this weekend, which is great news. Ricky Pereira, also, so that’s great for us. Probably a bit like Çağs (Çağlar Söyüncü), we just need to get him back step by step. He’s training with the team now and looking very good. We don’t need to rush it. He’s working hard with the medical team. He’s gone through all the tests and all the measures. He’s been out and trained with the squad for a little while.

"Both those players (Jamie Vardy & James Maddison) are available. It wasn’t so much a rest (vs. Stoke City). They couldn’t play, or if they did play, there was going to be a huge risk for them. "They’ve had ongoing issues throughout the season unfortunately and that was a game where we saw a window to get some medical work done with them knowing we’ve got other players who can play."
