Leicester City signing Wout Faes is available for this weekend's clash with Aston Villa.

The 24-year-old defender was signed Reims on September 1.

He has now been granted a work permit ahead of the Villa fixture.

On Faes' eligibility for the game against Villa, manager Brendan Rodgers said: "He's available, yes."

Asked about Leicester's poor form, Rodgers continued: "You've got to take your medicine and work hard on the training field.

"I'm pretty sure our next win will be round the corner. That will be a big relief and then we can move on from there."
