Leicester City Manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed the return of Chipolopolo forward Patson Daka from injury ahead of Saturday’s English Premier League with Burnley.
Rogers confirmed that Daka is available for Saturday’s clash away at Turf Moor during this afternoon’s press conference.
“We’ve got Patson Daka back. Luke Thomas will be back. Çağlar Söyüncü will be back. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and James Justin too, which is great news for us. He will be available, maybe not to start, but he’s back in the squad again.”
The return of Daka should be a relief for Brendan Rodgers who is without Jamie Vardy who is also out for up to eight weeks and Kelechi Iheanacho who is at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Daka has scored two goals in seven English Premier League appearances and has also chipped in with three assists.
Daka scored in the 4-2 win over Manchester United in October and the 4-0 win over Newcastle United early this month.
The Foxes face Burnley at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Saturday with kick-off set at 17:00 Central African Time (3 pm GMT kick-off)
