Pereira (strain) is not available to face Southampton on Saturday, coach Ruud van Nistelrooy said in a press conference, according to BBC Sport Leicester.
ANALYSIS
Pereira was forced off at halftime of their last contest due to a muscle injury and is ruled out for Saturday's game. His timeline for return remains unsure but with Leicester already relegated and only a few games left in the Premier League, he will likely not be rushed back. James Justin is expected to replace him in the starting XI.

Pereira is fit once again but is not yet an option for starting time, according to manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy. "He had a great 20 minutes. Of course, with the injury he has, we're careful with him. Now he's back after two days training only with the first team. Monday is soon but he's definitely someone we're very happy is available and can make an impact on Monday, but as a starter it's quite early."

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.
