Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has said that he is hopeful of having Danny Drinkwater available for Saturday's Premier League clash with Chelsea.
The 26-year-old was forced to miss England's World Cup qualifying double-header against Malta and Slovenia due to a groin injury.
Ranieri revealed that the midfielder will undergo a late check on Friday to determine his fitness, but hinted that he could make changes to his side with one eye on Tuesday's Champions League clash with Copenhagen.
"It was a little problem with the groin but I hope tomorrow, I speak with the doctor, he will be okay. Today he made everything okay and he trained well and now I want to wait to see if it is okay tomorrow. If the response is okay, it's okay. If no then I say I be careful," he told reporters.
"[Nampalys Mendy] came back and then after half an hour he left the game. He has a little problem with his ankle. He is fit but just a little twist again and the pain is very strong. I say yes he may be fit next week but we will see.
"[Shinji Okazaki] is back, they are all back fortunately - the last this morning. It's okay. But all the clubs have the same problem and now we have to see who has recovered well and then I choose. With the Champions League against Copenhagen on Tuesday I must see who players and decide."
Leicester currently sit 12th in the Premier League table with eight points from their opening seven games.
