Leicester City quadruple injury boost before Liverpool including Ricardo Pereira

Leicester City defender Ricardo Pereira is in contention to face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday after eight months out.

Pereira damaged his cruciate knee ligaments during the 4-0 win over Aston Villa in March during what proved to be the final Premier League game before the coronavirus shutdown.

The Portuguese full-back has been pictured training during the international break and could hand former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers a fresh injury boost.

Rodgers also welcomed back Wesley Fofana, Timothy Castagne and Wilfred Ndidi to training this week with Fofana thought to be the most likely of the quartet to be ready in time for Sunday.

Castagne has missed the Foxes' last four games with a hamstring complaint while Ndidi is expected to return at Christmas.

Rodgers will provide a thorough update on his options at his press conference on Friday.
