Leicester City manager Marti Cifuentes stated that full-backs Ricardo Pereira and James Justin might recover from injury to face Charlton Athletic on Saturday.
New club captain Pereira, 31, has yet to appear for the Foxes this season due to a persistent hamstring issue.
“He was very eager to come with the team, so he travelled to Preston, but we didn’t risk him. It’s very good news for us,” Cifuentes told BBC Radio Leicester.
Justin, 27, sustained a dead leg during Saturday’s loss at Preston North End and was replaced, but he could also participate at The Valley.
“He’s improving, and we’ll make a decision tomorrow,” Cifuentes said.
Victor Kristiansen’s fitness remains a worry for Cifuentes, however, with the Dane likely to stay unavailable for several weeks.
The 22-year-old is working out separately from the first-team squad as he seeks to heal from an injury sustained in practice.
Australian central defender Harry Souttar continues to be a long-term absence due to an Achilles injury.
