Ricardo Pereira is in contention to return to action for Leicester for the first time since March, when they face Liverpool on Sunday.
The Portuguese star injured his cruciate ligaments in his knee in the Foxes’ 4-0 win over Villa, the last Premier League game before the coronavirus shutdown, but returned to full training during the international break and could play. a role at Anfield.
Pereira was a key man for Leicester prior to his injury, claiming three goals and two assists from the right-back and producing several devastating attacking displays.
Without him, Leicester struggled to regain momentum after the spring lockout and his return is a huge boost for boss Brendan Rodgers, whose side is at the top of the table ahead of their meeting with the champions.
Leicester also hoped that Timothy Castagne, who replaced Pereira so effectively after arriving in the summer, will soon be fit after a hamstring problem, although Wilfred Ndidi and Caglar Soyuncu are absent for longer.
Rodgers’ team has been enormously effective on the road this season, securing flashy victories at Manchester City and Arsenal, while also beating Leeds and West Brom on their travels.
Last season, they came close to winning a draw at Liverpool until a controversial late penalty for the hosts, before Jurgen Klopp’s team won 4-0 at King Power Stadium on Boxing Day.
