Leicester v Legia Warsaw live: Foxes face key European clash without Tielemans

talksport.com, 25 November 2021, 16:10

Leicester will look to bounce back from their disappointing 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea by turning their attention back to the Europa League tonight.

The Foxes need a win to continue their pursuit of reaching the knockout stages in the competition with just two fixtures remaining.

Brendan Rodgers' side currently sit at the bottom of Group C but a win over the Polish side could see them rocket to the top.

Spartak Moscow's shock 2-1 win over Napoli on Wednesday has meant only two points separate all four sides.

Leicester v Spartak Moscow: Team news

The home side have been blighted by recent injuries with Ricardo Pereira joining star midfielder Youri Tielemans on the sidelines.

Brendan Rodgers said: "Youri is still a little bit of time away, but progressing well. He may be within the next couple of weeks.

"Ricardo won't be available. That hamstring is lingering a little bit, so he'll be out for a few weeks also. We'll continue to monitor that. Otherwise, the squad is the same."

James Justin and Wesley Fofana are the other notables absentees for the Foxes as both navigate their returns from long lay-offs.

Legia meanwhile are missing Josue through suspension and veteran goalkeeper Artur Boruc is yet to overcome a back problem.

Bartosz Kapustka has missed out on a reunion with his old side having spent four years at Leicester due to a knee injury he suffered back in July.

Leicester v Spartak Moscow: What has been said?

Brendan Rodgers: "It's a really, really important game for both teams.

"Sometimes what you need to turn around form, a change of competition and venue can do that.

"Hopefully we can get the result to take us above Legia."
