Holds on to clean sheet Ward registered a save in Saturday's 0-0 tie to Crystal Palace.

Impact It was a slow day for Ward in the office with just one lone save to complete his second clean sheet of the year. It has not been an easy season for the Welshman with seven games of conceding two goals or more in 10 appearances. Despite completing two clean sheets in the last five matches, he has allowed 13 goals in that span. He does have a chance to get another clean sheet against Leeds on Thursday, who have scored seven goals in the last six matches.

Concedes two in loss Ward managed two saves and conceded two goals in Saturday's 2-1 defeat by Bournemouth.

Impact Ward did not have much to do in Saturday's game which was largely played in the midfield. When called upon he did not produce any extraordinary saves that would have made a difference to the match outcome. He only faced four shots on target and conceded two of them, though he has not been well supported by his poorly performing defense. From nine appearances (all starts) he has conceded 24 goals, made 26 saves and only delivered one clean sheet.

Blanks Forest in win Ward made three saves and two clearances while maintaining a clean sheet during Monday's 4-0 victory versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact As the score would indicate, Ward wasn't terribly troubled by an overmatched Forest squad in this match. That said, Foxes' supporters and fantasy managers alike will still be pleased with the elusive clean sheet result. Leicester have a rather manageable upcoming run of fixtures, so Ward may be useful in lineups if his back line continue figuring things out.

Training with team Ward (knee) has been training with Leicester all week, manager Brendan Rodgers said in a press conference Friday.

Impact Ward was dealing with a knee injury for much of the preseason, but he featured in a club exhibition match with "no issues at all," according to Rodgers, and it seems he should be available for selection in Sunday's Premier League opener against Brentford. Ward may well begin the season as Leicester's starting goalkeeper now that Kasper Schmeichel has departed for Nice, but the club may look to sign another player before the transfer window closes.

Expected to play in exhibition Ward (knee) could see the pitch in a closed-doors exhibition game on Monday, Jordan Blackwell of the Leicester Mercury reports.

Impact Ward has missed all of Leicester's preseason so far after suffering a knee injury during the June international break, but he could be fit enough to feature in an exhibition game against the club's u-21 team on Monday. As of now, Ward is the No. 2 goalkeeper behind Kasper Schmeichel heading into the new Premier League campaign.

UEFA Nations League: Poland scores twice in final 20 to beat Wales

Four saves in rare start Ward made four saves and one clearance during Sunday's 5-1 win over Watford.

Impact Ward made his first appearance of the season for Watford, and did well, making four saves and a clearance in the win. It would have been tough to lose Sunday's match with the team in front of him playing so well. That said Ward's good form is encouraging for Leicester if Kasper Schmeichel is unable to go against Chelsea on Thursday.

Back on bench Ward was on the bench for Leicester's last couple matches, returning from a knee operation.

Impact Ward is the No. 2 goalkeeper once again after missing a month following a minor knee operation. He's yet to feature in league play this season and that's unlikely to change the rest of the way unless he gets a spot start in the season finale, especially if Leicester keep advancing in UECL.

Undergoes knee operation Ward underwent a knee operation and will be out a number of weeks, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact Ward has yet to appear in league play this season, so this doesn't change anything for his role. That said, he's been the No. 1 for Wales in recent years and it will prevent him playing for the international team in the upcoming break.
