Leicester City team news v Preston as Jordan James fails fitness test, Divine Mukasa starts | OneFootball

Jordan James misses out for Leicester City at Preston, so Divine Mukasa starts in attacking midfield.

According to LeicesterMercury.co.uk, Gary Rowett said the Wales injury was not as serious as first feared, but it still rules James out. Mukasa is the only change from the 0-0 draw at Watford a fortnight ago.

Patson Daka keeps his place up front despite only returning to Leicester yesterday after a long trip back from Argentina, where Zambia lost 5-0 in a friendly.

There are no changes in defence after the strong display at Watford. Jamaal Lascelles and Caleb Okoli continue at centre-back, with Jannik Vestergaard fit again but among the substitutes.

Asmir Begovic is also fit to return on the bench, while Jakub Stolarczyk keeps the gloves. In midfield, Harry Winks and Oliver Skipp form a partnership as Rowett sticks with two sitting midfielders rather than the one used in each of the last two home games.

Stephy Mavididi and Abdul Fatawu start out wide. Jeremy Monga and Dujuan Richards are on the bench. Aaron Ramsey is fit again, but is not included among the substitutes.
