Nampalys Mendy could return for Leicester against Southampton on Sunday after overcoming an ankle injury.

The midfielder, who joined from Nice in the summer, has been out for over a month but has returned to training and could replace Daniel Amartey.

Matty James is the Foxes' only absentee as he battles his own ankle injury while Danny Simpson could return after being dropped for Tuesday's 1-0 Champions League win over Porto.

Provisional squad: Schmeichel, Zieler, Simpson, Hernandez, Morgan, Huth, Wasilewski, Chilwell, Fuchs, Mendy, King, Drinkwater, Amartey, Gray, Mahrez, Albrighton, Schlupp, Ulloa, Musa, Okazaki, Slimani, Vardy.
