📣 Ruud van Nistelrooy on injury updates and Crystal Palace test | OneFootball

Leicester City are set to receive a welcome injury boost ahead of their clash with Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

Manager Ruun Van Nistelrooy confirmed defender Jannik Vestergaard returned to training after sitting out Saturday’s 6-2 FA Cup win over QPR.

Fortunately for the club, the issue was only mild, and the 32-year-old Dutch defender is back in contention to feature midweek.

“He was a part of team training today (Monday),” said Van Nistelrooy.

“I’m expecting he can be there if all goes well today. If he is fine tomorrow, I expect him to be there on Wednesday with the squad. There’s no [other] news on injuries.”

Looking ahead to their Premier League clash, the manager hopes the Foxes can take a step up from their performance against QPR.

"Our performance was good, but also we’ve addressed the individual mistakes that we need to cut out from our game – and we won’t get away with against Premier League opposition. We know where we are in the league and what to do to get out."

"I look at [Palace's] squad, the qualities they have within the team from back to front; that is a very good Premier League side. It’s going to be a tough one for us, but we want to compete and show what we’re about."

Leicester currently sit 19th in the Premier League table.
