Kasper Schmeichel fit for Leicester's trip to Anfield

09 September 2016 08:50

Kasper Schmeichel is available for Leicester's trip to Liverpool after recovering from a hernia operation.

The goalkeeper came off in the Foxes' 2-1 win over Swansea last month and missed Denmark's 1-0 World Cup qualifying win over Armenia but is fit and will keep Ron-Robert Zieler on the bench for the Premier League match at Anfield.

Nampalys Mendy is out with an ankle injury while Jeff Schlupp will not be risked by boss Claudio Ranieri as he continues to recover from a muscle strain. Record signing Islam Slimani could make his debut after joining from Sporting Lisbon on deadline day.

Provisional squad: Schmeichel, Zieler, Chilwell, Fuchs, Morgan, Huth, Hernandez, Wasilewski, Simpson, Drinkwater, King, Amartey, James, Albrighton, Kapustka, Gray, Mahrez, Ulloa, Okazaki, Vardy, Musa, Slimani.
