Leicester City vs Aston Villa Team news :
Despite initial optimism regarding their respective fitness levels, Rodgers was forced to play without Dennis Praet (dead leg) and Jonny Evans (thigh) for his final game in charge despite both Harry Souttar and Victor Kristiansen overcoming ankle concerns to start at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Youri Tielemans (ankle), James Justin (knee), and Ryan Bertrand (knee) remain out, as does Jannik Vestergaard, who was ostracized from the squad after questioning his lack of playing time under Rodgers. However, Evans has returned to team training and could force his way back into contention alongside Praet.
Pereria’s thunderclap off the seat will help the Portuguese’s possibilities of a review ten times, while Kelechi Iheanacho and Daniel Amartey could likewise clean up the group, with Sadler and Stowell maybe adopting a cautious strategy with Souttar given his new cutback.
Regarding ankle injuries, Boubacar Kamara returned to action at Stamford Bridge sooner than anticipated, despite being hooked after 45 minutes. This was probably due to him receiving a yellow card in the fourth minute and managing his workload.
