Leicester are ready to host Fulham at the King Power Stadium this evening as they look to add another important three points to their current total. The Foxes are one of the front-running teams so far this season and a win today will see them sneak into second place, overtaking both Chelsea and Liverpool.

In Brendan Rodgers' press conference ahead of their Europa League clash against Sporting Braga, he gave fans a huge injury boost regarding Timothy Castagne. The boss reported that the right-back could be available for selection this evening after being out of action with a hamstring injury.

Castagne returning would be a huge boost for Leicester, especially after he received a glowing review from Alan Shearer for being at the "top of his game".

The 24-year-old joined the club during the summer on a £50,000 per week contract after the absence of Ricardo Pereira seriously impacted the team. He has made six Premier League appearances so far and has contributed a goal and two assists, showing off his ability to get forward as well as defend (via Transfermarkt).

Castagne fits nicely into Rodgers' frequent chopping and changing of his backline. He slots naturally into the standard right-back position when part of a back four, but he also operates well further forwards.

His versatility to play as both a defender and a midfielder suits Leicester and their keen eye for a goal. The Belgian will likely get in on the attacking action this evening if he starts the match but a clean sheet will be the perfect comeback to keep his morale and confidence high.
