Pereira is set to miss four months with a hamstring injury, Rob Tanner of The Athletic reports. "Ricky's injury is more conclusive and serious, a serious hamstring injury, and he is going to be ruled out for four months," said manager Steve Cooper. "That's a blow, especially for him. We have to support them both now in their recovery."
ANALYSIS
Injuries have been an issue for Pereira throughout the season, and the wing-back, who had been limited to just two appearances in the current campaign, won't play in the rest of the calendar year, with a potential return date hovering around late March or even early April. His absence shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions, and James Justin will likely play on the right side of the defense going forward.

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.
