Youri Tielemans sidelined through injury as Leicester entertain Chelsea

Youri Tielemans will miss Leicester’s clash with Chelsea due to a calf issue.

The injury picked up before the international break means the Belgian midfielder will miss his first Premier League game since December 2019.

James Justin and Wesley Fofana are also injured but Marc Albrighton is fit again.

Romelu Lukaku will miss out for Chelsea as the Belgium striker continues to battle an ankle problem.

Mateo Kovacic is also sidelined with a hamstring injury, but Timo Werner could be back in action after his own hamstring issues.

Marcos Alonso is fit after an ankle concern, with Mason Mount back in training after wisdom tooth surgery.

Christian Pulisic has returned unscathed from international duty and is in line for just his third Premier League appearance of an injury-hit campaign.
