How Leicester City could line up against Rennes

Leicester City will be missing several players on Thursday night in the Europa Conference League against Rennes, with Ricardo Pereira and James Justin both unavailable due to injury.

However, after thriving against Leeds United in a game that led to a clean sheet, Hamza Choudhury could find himself being used as a full-back once again.

Brendan Rodgers was also set to welcome back Wesley Fofana for the first time this season due to his broken leg, but after a positive COVID-19 test, that will no longer be the case, and his return will be delayed.

Marc Albrighton could see himself dropping out of the starting lineup, and with Jamie Vardy confirmed to be unavailable due to a knee injury, the chance has been provided for Kelechi Iheanacho, while James Maddison is expected to be fit once again.

Harvey Barnes should retain his position on the other wing, coming off the back of scoring against Leeds at the weekend, with Wilfred Ndidi being at the heart of Leicester's midfield.

Leicester City possible starting lineup: Schmeichel; Choudhury, Amartey, Soyuncu, Thomas; Tielemans, Ndidi, Dewsbury-Hall; Maddison, Barnes, Iheanacho
