Pereira (hamstring) has begun to train with the team again, according to manager Ruud van Nistelrooy. "Other than that, Ricardo is making good progress in his comeback. He's part of team training. Hopefully in the coming weeks that can be more and he can be part of games as well."
ANALYSIS
Pereira looks to be nearing a return, with the defender rejoining team training Wednesday for the first time since his injury in early November. This is great news for the club, as he should be expected back within the next few weeks, likely needing around two to three weeks before he is fit. Once he returns he will be expected to see a rotational role, as he did start in both of his appearances but went unused in his other eight appearances on the team sheet.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might return in the next few weeks
DLeicester City
OUT
October 21, 2020
Pereira (knee) could return to action in around six weeks, according to Karl Matchett of The Independent.
ANALYSIS
Leicester City could have one key figure back from injury soon, as Pereira has been out since March due to a knee injury that required surgery. The talented right-back is one of the best two-way players in the EPL and his return could represent a huge boost for Leicester defensively, especially with Caglar Soyuncu set to face an extended spell on the sidelines.
