Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was left out of Mauricio Pochettino's matchday squad for the trip to Leicester as Paulo Gazzaniga was brought in.
Dele Alli and Davinson Sanchez were also absent for the trip to the King Power Stadium as Pochettino welcomed back Serge Aurier, Danny Rose and Heung-min Son to his starting XI.
Argentina international Giovani Lo Celso remains out for the foreseeable future with a hip injury, though, and Ryan Sessegnon continues to struggle with a hamstring problem.
Juan Foyth appears to be close to a return after suffering an ankle issue in pre-season, although this match will come too soon for the defender.
Starting lineups
Leicester XI: Schmeichel, Pereira, Evans, Soyuncu, Chilwell, Ndidi, Tielemans, Masddison, Perez, Barnes, Vardy
Tottenham XI: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Winks, Sissoko, Ndombele, Lamela, Son, Kane
