Ricardo Pereira could return to the Leicester City squad this weekend but it’s been confirmed that Stephy Mavididi will not play again this season.
Right-back Ricardo has missed the past two games with injury since being substituted at half-time in City's defeat at Wolves.
But he will be assessed over the next two days to see if he’s fit enough to play a part against Ipswich in Jamie Vardy’s final game.
There are no fresh injuries to the squad, so all of those who featured at Nottingham Forest will be available.
Ruud van Nistelrooy said at his press conference on Friday morning: “There’s no news on last week’s squad and team news, so it’s the same.
“Ricardo is one that today and tomorrow we can have a final view on him to take him into Sunday’s game. That would be great.”
Van Nistelrooy did confirm that Mavididi would play no further part this season.
The winger, who has missed the last three matches with a muscle injury, had initially been declared a doubt for the campaign, but the manager has now confirmed he won’t play either against Ipswich or Bournemouth.
That’s now four players who are definitely out for the campaign, with Mavididi joining Mads Hermansen, Abdul Fatawu, and Bobby De Cordova-Reid on the sidelines.
Mavididi’s confirmed absence should mean that Jeremy Monga and Jake Evans remain in the first-team squad for each of the next fixtures.
