Leicester v Rennes: Team news

Leicester will be without Jamie Vardy with the forward out again with a knee problem.

James Maddison and James Justin are set to return after injury lay-offs, but Wesley Fofana, who has been nearing a comeback from a broken leg sustained in pre-season, is unavailable after testing positive for coronavirus.

It is thought the game will come too soon for Ricardo Pereira (hamstring), while Jonny Evans, Timothy Castagne and Ryan Bertrand remain sidelined.

Leicester provisional squad: Schmeichel, Ward, Jakupovic, Justin, Soyuncu, Amartey, Vestergaard, Thomas, Barnes, Tielemans, Maddison, Albrighton, Choudhury, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndidi, Soumare, Iheanacho, Perez, Daka, Lookman.

Leicester v Rennes: What has been said?

Rennes boss Bruno Genesio: "It's an interesting competition for us and a good way to assess ourselves against a big European club.

"They are favourites and better equipped than us but we have to go there with a lot of confidence and conviction.

"They are a team with a lot of experience, who played in the Champions League and were champions of England not so long ago. It is one of the best teams in this Conference League.

"We watched them and we saw that they were a very good team with talented players capable of making a difference. We also saw that there were things to exploit.

"We go there with ambition, humility but above all with our strengths."
