Pereira (strain) is sidelined due to a muscle injury, according to manager Ruud van Nistelrooy."No, unfortunately not. He picked a small injury the day before yesterday [Friday]. He tried it in training yesterday but he has a minor muscle injury. Hopefully it won't be too long"
ANALYSIS
Pereira is headed to the sideline with a fresh injury concern. The only minor positive is that he has the international break to try and get fit before an April 2 trip to Manchester City. Injuries have limited Pereira to just three appearances in the Premier League.

GTD
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.
