12 August 2016 09:20

Champions Leicester start the defence of their Premier League title at Hull without the suspended Robert Huth.

The defender is banned after his three-match sanction for tangling with Manchester United's Marouane Fellaini at the end of last season.

Matty James is available after missing the whole of last season's title-winning campaign with a knee injury while record signing Ahmed Musa could make his debut after joining from CSKA Moscow for £16million. New boys Luis Hernandez, Bartosz Kapustka, Ron-Robert Zieler and Papy Mendy are also in the squad but Ritchie de Laet and Gokhan Inler will not be included having been told they can find new clubs.

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