Set to return Sunday Soyuncu -- who missed Thursday's Conference League matchup with Rennes due to illness -- is expected to be available versus Brentford on Sunday. Manager Brendan Rodgers told report...

Impact Soyuncu should be a lock for the starting XI if deemed fully fit considering he has started all but one of his 29 appearances for the club this year. Given his limited offensive upside, Soyuncu won't offer more than mid-range fantasy value even if cleared to play.

Keeps clean sheet in win Soyuncu made five clearances, a block and two interceptions in Tuesday's 2-0 victory against Burnley. He also took a shot and won one of one tackles in the match.

Impact Soyuncu helped keep Leicester's first clean sheet since 2021, in what was also their first Premier League win of the new year. He will want to follow this up with another solid performance Saturday against Leeds, which have scored 29 goals in 26 matches this season.

Blocks one shot Soyuncu blocked a shot, made two tackles (winning both) and three clearances during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Wolverhampton.

Impact Soyuncu was a part of the Leicester back four that allowed a goal in each half Sunday. The centerback finished with the second highest amount of clearances on the team while leading Leicester with one block in the loss.

Starting Sunday Soyuncu (knee) is in the starting XI for Sunday's clash with Wolves.

Impact Soyuncu is in the starting XI after picking up a knee injury during Thursday's UECL match. It appears not to have been a serious injury as the defender is straight back into the starting XI.

FEBRUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up knee issue Thursday Soyuncu was forced off late with a knee issue in Thursday's UECL win against Randers.

Impact Soyuncu is one of the only healthy true center-backs that Leicester has at the moment, so his situation needs to be monitored ahead of Sunday's match. If he can't go, Jannik Vestergaard could be set for another start, or they could turn to either Hamza Choudhury or Wilfred Ndidi at center-back next to Daniel Amartey.

FEBRUARY 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes seven clearances in draw Soyuncu made a block and seven clearances in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Brighton. He also won one of three tackles in the match.

Impact Soyuncu defended well for much of Sunday's game, but Leicester managed to once again squander a late lead as Danny Welbeck equalized for Brighton in the 82nd minute. After the international break he faces second-placed Liverpool, which have scored a Premier League-high 58 goals in 22 matches this season.

Leader in blocks Soyuncu took an off target shot, blocked a shot, made an interception, a tackle and four clearances during Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Tottenham.

Impact Soyuncu was a part of the Leicester back line that allowed three goals on Wednesday. The defender finished with the second highest amount of clearances on the team while his one block tied for the team-high total in the loss.

JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back in starting XI Soyuncu (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Tottenham.

Impact Soyuncu gets the call Wednesday after missing the last month with a hamstring injury. He's a nice boost to the back line and it's a great spot for another home win and possible clean sheet for Leicester, as Tottenham are without Son Heung-Min in their attack.

JANUARY 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back Saturday Soyuncu (hamstring) is expected to be available for Saturday's match against Burnley, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact Soyuncu has been out since the Dec. 22 contest with a hamstring injury, so he's been out three weeks. If he's available, he should be fit, but with any hamstring injury, there's a chance of recurrence if not fully recovered. Given Leicester's lack of options, he'll likely be in the XI Saturday, possibly next time Jannik Vestergaard.

JANUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hopeful to return next week Soyuncu (hamstring) is hopeful to return for the Jan. 15 contest, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact Rodgers may be looking on the optimistic side of things because he's almost out of center-backs at this point. Soyuncu will hope to return for the Jan. 15 match, but it's never a good idea to return too soon from a hamstring injury.

JANUARY 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out up to three weeks Soyuncu will be out around three weeks with a hamstring injury suffered in the midweek Cup match, reports Rob Tanner of The Athletic.

Impact It's a tough injury for Leicester, who are struggling to put together a back line and that resulted in six goals allowed to Man City on Boxing Day. Soyuncu's absence means more time for Jannik Vestergaard, who has struggled to perform in limited appearances with Leicester this season.

Starts Wednesday, leaves injured Soyuncu was forced off in the 60th minute of Wednesday's Cup match against Liverpool with a tight hamstring.

Impact Unfortunately, this hamstring issue is related to the prior one for Soyuncu and it's what was bugging him last week. With only a few days until the Boxing Day fixture, Soyuncu is at jeopardy of missing at least one match, depending on the severity, meaning a return to the XI for Jannik Vestergaard is possible.

Back from hamstring issue Soyuncu (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's Cup match against Liverpool.

Impact Soyuncu makes a quick return Wednesday despite being labeled out for Leicester's match last week that didn't happen. Fortunately, it was only a minor hamstring tweak, which means he should be in line to start Leicester's upcoming holiday fixtures.

Impact Soyuncu adds to the list of already injured players for Leicester, who will be without any true center-backs for Thursday's match. As it stands, defensive midfielders like Wilfred Ndidi and Boubakary Soumare may be asked to play at center-back against Tottenham.

Leader in blocks, clearances Soyuncu made three blocks, a tackle and six clearances during Sunday's 4-0 win over Newcastle.

Impact Soyuncu was a part of the Leicester back line that kept a clean sheet on Sunday. The defender made just one tackle and no interceptions but led Leicester in both blocks and clearances in the win.

Impact Soyuncu had a good defensive outing, leading his side in clearances to help them earn the win, but was part of the unit that conceded twice at home. The centerback will now look for only their second clean sheet in the season when they visit Southampton on Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Blocks one shot Soyuncu blocked a shot, made two interceptions, two tackles (winning one) and a clearance during Saturday's 3-0 loss to Chelsea.

Impact Soyuncu was a part of the Leicester back line that allowed three goals during Saturday's loss. The defender's one block was the team-high total in the loss.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Finds right place at the right time Soyuncu scored once, took two shots (one on target) and made one tackle (none won) in the 4-2 win against Manchester United on Saturday.

Impact Soyuncu was unheard of in the backline Saturday, but it also did not help that he did not have to be anchored in defense the entire game. The center-back managed to take a season-high two shots and he would eventually give Leicester the lead from a corner ball that fell right to his feet. This performance can be considered an outlier for his defensive stats and he will remain a great option from Leicester's backline.
