Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is hoping to count on Ricardo Pereira next month.

The fullback is in the final stretch of recovery from knee surgery.

Rodgers said, "We hope to have him with us soon, for the time being he's in the second team, but progressing well.

"In two or three weeks we hope to have him with us. We are very happy with the work he has done.

"Ricardo is very strong, he did a game for the B team and it was very good."
