- Ricardo Pereira (hamstring) is now back in full training for Leicester City
- Manager Dean Smith provided an update on his squad on Friday
- Kelechi Iheanacho is also progressing well in his recovery from a groin injury

The Foxes welcome Liverpool to King Power Stadium on Monday in the Club's antepenultimate game of the Premier League season. They are 18th in the table, two points adrift of safety, after last Monday's 5-3 reverse at Fulham.

Ricardo has been absent with a hamstring injury since the 1-0 home loss to AFC Bournemouth on 8 April. Iheanacho, on the other hand, remains out with a groin complaint sustained in the 1-1 draw at Leeds United on 25 April.

We thought he'd only have a two-day build-up for the Newcastle game, but he's ahead of schedule which is a big positive for us.

Dean Smith on Kelechi Iheanacho

"Nobody's come out from the [Fulham] squad," Smith said. "Ricky is back in full training so we are as we were really.

"[Iheanacho is] due to train earlier next week rather than later. We thought he'd only have a two-day build-up for the Newcastle game, but he's ahead of schedule which is a big positive for us."
