Team news and stats ahead of Braga vs Leicester City in the Europa League group stage on Thursday; kick-off 5.55pm.
Leicester head to Braga knowing three points in Portugal would see them reach the knockout stage and their progression in the competition could coincide with an injury boost for Wilfred Ndidi and Ricardo Pereira.
Midfielder Ndidi will miss out against Braga but he could be available for selection when the Foxes take on Zorya Luhansk next week. The Nigeria international has been on the sidelines since he suffered a groin injury against Burnley in September.
Portugal international right-back Ricardo has been absent since March but continued his recovery from a serious knee injury by playing 59 minutes for the development squad this week.
Long-term absentees Timothy Castagne (hamstring) and Caglar Soyuncu (adductor) remain on the sidelines.
Braga, managed by former Swansea and Sheffield Wednesday boss Carlos Carvalhal, will be without suspended defender David Carmo, while midfielder Fransergio is doubtful after recently testing positive for coronavirus.
