Leicester will be missing Timothy Castagne, James Justin and Jonny Evans this weekend through injury, while Wesley Fofana suffered a fractured fibula during the pre-season clash with Villarreal on Wednesday, meaning that the centre-back's 2021-22 campaign is now in doubt.

There is a chance that Wilfred Ndidi could be pressed into action alongside Soyuncu at the back, with Ricardo Pereira and Bertrand lining up in the full-back positions.

Kelechi Iheanacho could be given the nod alongside Jamie Vardy as part of a front two, with Daka starting on the bench, while Barnes and Youri Tielemans are also in line to feature for the Foxes.

Man City, meanwhile, had Ferran Torres back in pre-season training on Wednesday following his involvement in Euro 2020, while fellow Spain international Rodri was also present during the same session.

The Citizens will still be missing a number of key players, though, with the likes of Ederson, John Stones, Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus all unavailable for selection.

Zack Steffen is set to start between the sticks, while there are likely to be spots in the first XI for Cole Palmer and Sam Edozie, who have impressed for the English champions during pre-season.

Bernardo Silva continues to be linked with a move away from the Etihad Stadium, but the Portugal international could feature in the final third of the field alongside Riyad Mahrez.

Leicester City possible starting lineup:
Schmeichel; Pereira, Ndidi, Soyuncu, Bertrand; Albrighton, Tielemans, Soumare, Barnes; Vardy, Iheanacho

Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Steffen; Cancelo, Dias, Ake, Mendy; Fernandinho, Gundogan, Palmer; Mahrez, B Silva, Edozie



译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

莱斯特城本周末将因伤缺席蒂莫西·卡斯塔涅、詹姆斯·贾斯汀和约翰尼·埃文斯，而韦斯利·福法纳在周三与比利亚雷亚尔的季前赛中腓骨骨折，这意味着这位中后卫在2021-22赛季的征战前景堪疑。

在里卡多·佩雷拉和贝特朗的配合下，威尔弗雷德·迪迪有可能和索云库一起在后防线上发挥作用。

凯里希·伊赫纳乔和杰米·瓦尔迪可能会成为锋线的两名成员，而达卡将首发在板凳席上，而巴恩斯和蒂勒曼斯也将成为狐狸队的主力。

与此同时，在参加了2020年欧洲杯后，费兰·托雷斯周三回到了曼城，同时他的西班牙国脚罗德里也参加了同一场训练。

尽管如此，公民队仍然会缺少一些关键球员，像埃德森、约翰·斯通、凯文·德布鲁恩、拉希姆·斯特林和加布里埃尔·耶稣都无法入选。

扎克·斯特芬将会首发，而科尔·帕尔默和山姆·埃多西很可能会出现在首发阵容中，他们在季前赛中为英超冠军留下了深刻的印象。

贝尔纳多·席尔瓦继续被传将离开阿提哈德球场，但葡萄牙国脚可能会和马赫雷斯一起出现在最后三分之一的位置。

莱斯特城可能的首发阵容:
舒米;Pereira, Ndidi, Soyuncu, Bertrand;Albrighton, Tielemans, Soumare, Barnes;Vardy, Iheanacho

曼城可能的首发阵容:
史蒂芬;Cancelo, Dias, Ake, Mendy;Fernandinho Gundogan,帕默;Mahrez, B Silva, Edozie
