Keeps clean sheet in draw Amartey kept a clean sheet during Saturday's scoreless draw with Crystal Palace.

Impact Amartey started for the first time in nearly six weeks due to the scratch of Jonny Evans (calf) from the lineup. As Wout Faes has surpassed Amartey on the center-back depth chart, Amartey is more reliant on rotation or the absence of others in order to play. A run of two clean sheets in the last three games for the Foxes means that he could offer some value if faced with the right matchup.

Makes 100 clearances in the season Amartey made 100 clearances in 32 appearances (27 starts) in the season.

Impact Amartey was a starter on defense for most part of the season, logging 100 clearances, 35 tackles and 24 interceptions over 32 games (27 starts) between Premier League and Europa League. The centerback also received only four yellow cards over that span. He scored once from five shots, and will now look to keep things rolling in 2022-23.

Goes full 90 in return Amartey went the full 90 in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Brighton, securing seven clearances and a tackle won.

Impact Amartey only missed one match while away for AFCON and that makes his status in the team fairly obvious. Jannik Vestergaard hasn't worked out for Leicester and will remain the backup, while Amartey is now the No. 2 center-back with Jonny Evans out.

Available against Brighton Amartey (not injury related) will rejoin Leicester City ahead of Sunday's clash with Brighton following the conclusion of his international responsibilities.

Impact Amartey was absent for just one match for Foxes while playing in the Africa Cup of Nations with Ghana. The defender has started 13 of his 14 appearances for the club in EPL and UEL action in which he registered one goal on four shots (two on target), one cross (accurate) and 389 clearances.

Playing for Nigeria Amartey will miss Leicester City's next three matches, at a minimum, while away on international duty for AFCON with Nigeria.

Impact Amartey's absence will stretch an already thin backline for Foxes considering James Justin (knee), Caglar Soyuncu and Ricardo Pereira (leg) are all dealing with injuries. In 10 domestic appearances (nine starts), Amartey has generated 29 clearances 11 interceptions and seven tackles. Given his limited offensive upside, few fantasy players should be significantly impacted while Amartey is away from the squad.

Starting on Boxing Day Amartey (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Amartey didn't even make the bench midweek and hasn't played since November, but he's back Sunday and starting against Man City. It's a huge spot for him and it doesn't help Leicester that Wilfred Ndidi isn't in the XI, as he's getting a break during the festive period.

Could make bench Thursday Amartey (undisclosed) is expected to be on the bench Thursday against Tottenham but isn't ready to start, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact It doesn't seem like Amartey had COVID-19 like some of his teammates, but he hasn't played in a few weeks and isn't well enough to start. There's a chance that changes in the next 24 hours, but it's at least good that one center-back could be available Thursday.

Ends campaign on bench Amartey stayed on the bench for the final seven matches of the season after appearing in eight of the prior nine contests.

Impact Amartey finished with 12 league appearances (eight starts), but he was notably left out when Jonny Evans picked up an injury late in the season. Amartey was used as a center-back and right-back throughout the season, but in need of points, he wasn't asked to take the pitch, something to keep in mind ahead of the new campaign.
