Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Leicester City could line up for Thursday's Europa Conference League clash with Roma.

Leicester City head into Thursday's Europa Conference League semi-final second-leg tie away at Roma with several selection concerns, as key midfielder Wilfred Ndidi remains sidelined alongside defender Ryan Bertrand.

There are also doubts over the availability of midfielders James Maddison and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, after they both missed Sunday's Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur due to hip and calf issues respectively.

In the likely absence of those two alongside Ndidi, Brendan Rodgers may have to switch from his preferred setups involving three central midfielders, as Boubakary Soumare may partner Youri Tielemans in a duo given the lack of options.

Elsewhere, centre-backs Jonny Evans and Wesley Fofana were rested at the weekend, and they are both set to start on Thursday with Caglar Soyuncu likely keeping his place if a back three is deployed in front of Kasper Schmeichel.

Talismanic striker Jamie Vardy was fit to feature off the bench last time out, after starting in the first leg and battling through several issues, and he will be vying to start up front.

Competition in attack is rife, though, with Kelechi Iheanacho and summer signing Patson Daka also hoping to lead the line, while Harvey Barnes and Ademola Lookman will be given the nod if Rodgers sets up with wingers.

Ricardo Pereira was also absent on Sunday, but he is set to return on the right-hand side, with Timothy Castagne and James Justin expected to battle it out for a place on the opposite flank.

Leicester City possible starting lineup: Schmeichel; Fofana, Evans, Soyuncu; Pereira, Soumare, Tielemans, Castagne; Barnes, Vardy, Lookman
