Team News: Kasper Schmeichel back in goal for Leicester City against Porto

Schmeichel back for Leicester against Porto

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has made two changes ahead of his side's Champions League clash against Porto at the King Power Stadium.

Kasper Schmeichel returns in goal for the Foxes after recovering from injury, relegating stand-in stopper Ron-Robert Zieler to the bench, while Luis Hernandez replaces Danny Simpson in defence.

Algeria international Islam Slimani, meanwhile, starts against the side he scored six goals in six games against while playing for Sporting Lisbon.

Porto boss Nuno has kept faith with the starting XI that beat Boavista 3-1 at the weekend, lining up in a 4-3-3 formation spearheaded by Otavinho, Adrian and Andre Silva.

Leicester City: Schmeichel, Hernandez, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs, Mahrez, Drinkwater, Amartey, Albrighton, Slimani, Vardy Subs: Zieler, Musa, King, Schlupp, Simpson, Okazaki, Gray

Porto: Casillas, Layun, Felipe, Marcano, Alex Telles, Danilo, Andre Andre, Oliver Torres, Otavio, Andre Silva, Adrian Lopez Subs: Sa, Boly, Neves, Herrera, Corona, Jota, Depoitre
