Leicester City v Leeds United team news: Pascal Struijk replaces Diego Llorente with Mateusz Klich still benched
PASCAL Struijk replaces the injured Diego Llorente in the Leeds United side for Sunday's Premier League clash at Leicester City.
Spanish international centre-back Llorente suffered another setback on his full Whites debut against Newcastle United and is facing between three and four weeks out with a muscular injury.
Struijk now comes into the side for the only change as Mateusz Klich stays on the bench having lost his place in the side for Tuesday's clash at Newcastle in which Llorente picked up his latest injury.
Charlie Cresswell replaces Struijk on the bench.
In addition to Llorente, Robin Koch (knee), Gaetano Berardi (ACL) and Adam Forshaw (hip) are United's three other absentees with injury.
Jamie Vardy (hernia surgery) and Wilfred Ndidi (slight hamstring tear) are both out for Leicester.
Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers has made just the one change to his side as Nididi is replaced by Papa Mendy.
Leicester City: Schmeichel; Castagne, Fofana, Evans, Justin; Mendy, Tielemans; Albrighton, Maddison, Barnes; Perez. Subs: Ward, Amartey, Soyuncu, Fuchs, Ricardo, Thomas, Choudhury, Under, Iheanacho.
Leeds United: Meslier, Alioski, Cooper, Struijk, Ayling, Phillips, Dallas, Raphinha, Harrison, Rodrigo, Bamford. Subs: Casilla, Cresswell, Davis, Klich, Shackleton, Costa, Roberts, Hernandez, Poveda.
