Leicester City fullback Ricardo Pereira is on his way back.

The Portuguese defender will be back in the squad after more than six months out due to a serious Achilles tendon injury.

Brendan Rodgers, the Leicester manager, announced Pereira's inclusion for the clash against Tottenham.

He said, "He's worked well, so he'll be called up and that's great news for us. He played 70 minutes in a training match on Tuesday and could have the chance to make his season debut."

The right-back was injured on July 31 during a friendly against Sevilla.
