Inler in line for Leicester debut
Gokhan Inler could make his Leicester debut against Tottenham after joining from Napoli this week.
The midfielder does not want to be compared to Esteban Cambiasso after penning a three-year deal from Napoli.
Boss Claudio Ranieri has been searching for a replacement for Cambiasso after the midfielder opted to leave at the end of his contract this summer and join Olympiacos.
But Switzerland captain Inler dismissed suggestions he is a direct replacement for the ex-Argentina international as he looks to make his mark at the Foxes.
He said: "This is a good question but for me the squad is important. I know what you said but first of all it is the team. I will give my best, give my quality to the team.
"When we win, we win together. When we lose, we lose together. It doesn't matter whether I play like Esteban or not.
"My experience is different, I had also high level games. I also play in a national team with young players and my experience is good for the young players. I can show them how they are and how they can play. I will give my positive energy to them."
Ranieri is yet to decide whether Inler will make his debut against Tottenham on Saturday but he has no fresh injury worries with only Matty James recovering from a long-term knee injury and Christian Fuchs expected to shake off an illness.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino will decide whether to throw new signing Clinton N'Jie straight into the squad.
Midfielder Andros Townsend is not available for the match due to an ankle injury.
Striker Harry Kane has recovered from a tight calf which saw him substituted during last weekend's 2-2 draw against Stoke.
Pochettino wants Tottenham to develop a mean defensive streak after a slow start to the season.
Spurs narrowly lost the opening match 1-0 away to Manchester United and should have beaten Stoke only to let a 2-0 lead slip during the closing stages.
Leicester, by contrast, have made an excellent start under new manager Ranieri, following up the 4-2 rout of Sunderland with victory at West Ham.
Pochettino, though, is determined to keep a sense of perspective as his side look to tighten up at the back.
"The season is very long and we need to keep the same level, improve defensively and be more consistent," the Argentinian said.
"People will say that we need (to buy) offensive players, but we need to be more consistent because we conceded a lot of goals last season.
"It wasn't a problem to score - it was conceding goals (which cost Spurs) and we need to improve that this season."
