Wesley Fofana

The France Under-21s defender delivered a solid performance at the heart of defence for Leicester on Thursday.

"I’ve got to manage Ricardo [Pereira]," manager Brendan Rodgers said. "He can’t play [too many] games at this stage when he’s just back from a long-term injury. "We’ve seen it before. He’s going to pick up other knocks along the way having been out for so long, so it’s great he’s back for this season. He’s going to be available for some of the games.

"[Wesley Fofana is] a young player in the middle of Ramadan so he’s obviously not eating during the day. I think it’s absolutely remarkable. I work with lots of players who have similar devotion to their faith, and I think, for a lot of the guys, it gives them strength.

"He’s found incredible strength to play continuously and to train while in Ramadan. He’s a special talent and a big player for us."

City's No.15 rescued a point with his eighth goal in all competitions in the latter moments.

Harvey Barnes' late equaliser was enough to secure a point for the Foxes in a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace back in December.

On the last occasion the Eagles visited Leicester, meanwhile, Jamie Vardy netted a brace, including his 100th Premier League goal, while Kelechi Iheanacho also scored in a 3-0 triumph in July.
