Leicester City vs West Ham -Leicester duo Chilwell and Choudhury return to face West Ham

Posted Tuesday, January 21, 2020 by PA

Leicester defender Ben Chilwell and midfielder Hamza Choudhury return to the squad for the Premier League visit of West Ham to the King Power Stadium on Wednesday night.

Both players were omitted for Sunday’s 2-1 loss at Burnley as they “missed a very important session”, according to manager Brendan Rodgers in the build-up to the game.

Midfielder Wilfred Ndidi could remarkably figure despite only undergoing a minor knee operation 11 days ago.

Felipe Anderson is sidelined for the Hammers after being ruled out for one month with a back injury.

Michail Antonio is closing in on a return from a hamstring injury and could be available for the fixture.

Ryan Fredericks (hamstring), Jack Wilshere (groin) and Andriy Yarmolenko (thigh) are still missing along with goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski (hip).

Leicester provisional squad: Schmeichel, Ward, Jakupovic, Chilwell, Justin, Pereira, Morgan, Evans, Fuchs, Benkovic, Soyuncu, Gray, Praet, Tielemans, Mendy, Maddison, Ndidi, Albrighton, Barnes, Choudhury, Mendy, Perez, Vardy, Iheanacho.

West Ham provisional squad: Randolph, Zabaleta, Diop, Ogbonna, Balbuena, Cresswell, Rice, Noble, Snodgrass, Lanzini, Fornals, Haller, Martin, Reid, Sanchez, Ajeti, Rosa, Cardosa, Ngakia.
