Doubts: Ricardo Pereira 25%Justin 25%

Latest News: Ruud van Nistelrooy revealed that James Justin (foot) isn’t seriously injured after picking up an issue last weekend but added that the defender was a "question mark" for the Brentford game on Friday. Justin's involvement looks in further doubt after van Nistelrooy said it was "more a question of weeks than [anything] more". Elsewhere, Abdul Fatawu (knee) remains out. The game probably comes too soon for Ricardo Pereira (hamstring), too: the defender is back in training but after so long out his manager talked more about involvement "in the coming weeks". The Foxes did pretty well against Arsenal last weekend, so bar the expected enforced change at right-back (Woyo Coulibaly for Justin), van Nistelrooy may go with the same troops again. Grafters Bobby DeCordova-Reid and Jordan Ayew have started the last three Premier League games out wide, leaving the more mercurial Facundo Buonanotte and Stephy Mavididi on the bench. Caleb Okoli and the fit-again Wilfred Ndidi have impressed since their reintroduction to the side, too, which doesn't spell great news for Jannik Vestergaard and Harry Winks.

Latest News: Sepp van den Berg is a concern after limping out of the West Ham United victory with a knee issue. His manager was "hopeful" it was nothing serious but couldn't tell us much so soon after full-time. Josh Dasilva (knee) and Gustavo Nunes (back) remain on the longer-term injury list for the Bees. Igor Thiago (joint infection) and Rico Henry (hamstring) are on the grass this week but Thomas Frank said last Friday that the pair are "a bit away". Aaron Hickey (hamstring) is now in full training but after more than a year out, Frank wants the full-back to have a virtual "pre-season" before being considered for a playing return. Further updates to follow after the pre-match press conferences.
