Jamie Vardy will see action for Leicester City tonight against Burnley.
Vardy has been absent since December 28 with a hamstring injury but is set to return to the squad along with Ricardo Pereira, who sat out the Europa Conference League win over Randers.
James Justin is around a week away from returning, while Wesley Fofana, Jonny Evans, Timothy Castagne and Ryan Bertrand remain sidelined.
Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers admits the 35-year-old striker's absence has hit them hard, meaning his return comes as a timely boost.
"To have that level of quality is important," Rodgers said on Monday.
"He's a top player at the level and he has that mentality. To have him back and be able to feature, it will be a huge boost for us."
Leicester now sit just six points above the relegation zone, albeit with a game-in-hand over Tuesday's opponents Burnley, who are down in 18th.
When asked about the threat of relegation, Rodgers said: "Respectfully, we try to look forward.
"We've played three to four games less than other teams. We have to win games to look up the table. That's our only notion."
