Who is in contention to play?
Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers commented: “We’re going to see how he [Jonny Evans] is a little later on, we’ll give him every chance, but he’ll be a big doubt for the game. It’s just from the awkward landing in that game (vs. Arsenal). It’s a part of his back that could click in later on or tomorrow and be absolutely fine. He’s still feeling pain with it and Jonny’s the type of player, even if he's not 100 per cent, he'd play through it, but this one effects his running, jumping and his movement patterns, so we’ll have to see. I always felt from the medical team and from Jonny that if it wasn’t going to be Thursday, he'll hopefully be okay for Wolves."
What happened last time?
Leicester took all three points from their encounter with AEK Athens at Athens Olympic Stadium last Thursday, with first half goals courtesy of Jamie Vardy and Hamza Choudhury enough to seal a second straight group stage victory.
Braga, meanwhile, also recorded a 2-1 away win last time out, beating Zorya Luhansk in Ukraine. Paulinho and Nicolas Gaitan found the net early on before Dmytro Ivanisenya's injury-time consolation for the hosts.
