Chelsea are away to Leicester City at the King Power Stadium in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.

Leicester manager Steve Cooper has given update on his team, and admits Jordan Ayew and Bobby De Cordova-Reid are both doubts to face Chelsea.

He also gave an update on his top striker Jamie Vardy who missed their last game against Manchester United before the international break.

“Patson’s back in training, he’s available” Cooper said.

“Jamie has been back training with the group, but slightly modified, so we’ll see where he is for the weekend.

“Jordan has come back injured from international duty. It’s not a serious injury contrary to some reports. The hope is he may be available for the weekend but we’re a little bit inconclusive on that for the minute.

“[De Cordova-Reid] has been on the training pitch. He’s had a cut in the United League Cup game. It was in an awkward position above the Achilles. It’s been a bit stop-start for him so it’s been frustrating. He trained with us yesterday so the hope is that the cut hasn’t opened up again but it has been frustrating for him.”

For Chelsea, Reece James and Romeo Lavia will miss this game through injury.
