Incredible brace in defeat Justin scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 4-2 loss versus Arsenal.

Impact Justin provided his first goal return of the season, scoring a brace that nearly kept his side in the game against Arsenal until added time. His 63rd-minute equaliser was an incredibly special outside-of-the-foot volley that curled into the far corner. This type of goal is difficult to replicate, particularly against top opposition. In fact, before this game, he had only ever scored two goals in his entire Premier League career.

Fails to return to action Justin (Achilles), as expected, was never able to get back onto the pitch for Leicester City this season.

Impact Justin will probably be hard-pressed to be ready for the start of the 2023-24 campaign after undergoing Achilles surgery back in November. Additionally, the fact that he is recovering from a long-term injury and is under contract through 2026, Justin will likely have to remain with Foxes in the second-tier Championship.

Impact Justin gets the worst possible news after he was stretchered off the pitch in Wednesday's win over Newport County. He made 14 starts over the first half of the season, keeping four clean sheets. As he also missed much of the previous campaign with a knee injury a growing body of evidence shows that Justin has been an injury-prone player early in his career. Luke Thomas is one candidate to take over for Justin as the starting-left back over the rest of the season. Unfortunately for Leicester, fellow full-back Ricardo Pereira is also in the middle of his recovery from a ruptured Achilles.

Impact Justin scored before coming off, and the tackle that saw him stretched off was truly a minor looking incident. The defender's World Cup dreams could be in major doubt already as he seemed to be in major pain while being carried off. More details will likely come out before Saturday's trip to West Ham, though Justin is an extreme doubt for that match.

Makes three interceptions Justin logged in three interceptions, three tackles (two won) and two clearances in Saturday's 0-0 tie against Crystal Palace.

Impact Justin continues to contribute defensively for Leicester with another game of multiple tackles and clearances. However, his crosses per game have diminished since the beginning of the season. In the first four matches of the campaign, he totaled eight crosses (three accurate), compared to his last four games where is has only totaled four crosses (one accurate). The 24-year-old is still a systematic defender with a total of 22 clearances and 16 tackles (14 won) thus far.

Impact Justin missed the first half of the season with a knee injury and only made his debut on January. The right-back started in 11 of his 13 appearances, all in Premier League play. His presence was most felt on defense, with 22 tackles, 17 interceptions and 32 clearances overall, while also sending in 15 crosses. He will look for more playing time in the next campaign.

Starting Sunday Justin (illness) will feature in the starting XI for the season finale against Southampton on Sunday.

Impact Justin has appeared in just three of the club's last seven contests, including two matches in which he was an unused substitute. The defender has offered decent mid-range fantasy value when he has played, having recorded seven crosses (one accurate), eight tackles (seven won), and four clearances.

Impact Justin should return to the starting XI Sunday unless he can't recover in the next two days. He's been the top full-back since returning from injury and will look to close the season in a bit of form. He's managed 10 league starts after missing the majority of the season with injury.

Creates two chances in win Justin made an interception and created two chances in Wednesday's 3-0 victory against Norwich City. He also won two of two tackles in the match.

Impact Justin returned to the lineup Wednesday after missing a few games with a shoulder injury, and he played well on both sides of the ball in a comfortable win over Norwich. He will want to do it again Sunday against Watford, which are 19th in the Premier League and have scored just 32 goals in 36 matches this season.

Starting against Norwich Justin (shoulder) will feature in the starting XI versus Norwich on Wednesday.

Impact Justin was an unused substitute in two of his last three appearances in the match-day squad. Still, when he has gotten onto the pitch, the right-back has offered solid mid-range fantasy value, having recorded five shots (one on target), 10 crosses (two accurate) and four chances created in his last five outings.

Will be option Wednesday Justin (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's match against Norwich City, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact There was a general thought that Justin may not play again this season because of a dislocated shoulder, but it looks like that's not the case. If available Wednesday, that means he should be ready to start and while he has a bad shoulder, that may not matter against Norwich.

MAY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with dislocated shoulder Justin wasn't in the squad for Sunday's match against Everton because of a dislocated shoulder, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact Justin is a doubt to feature again this season after dislocating his shoulder in the second leg against Roma. Daniel Amartey started in Sunday's match and a return to the XI for Luke Thomas is possible Wednesday against Norwich with Timothy Castagne likely starting on the right side.

Serviceable Saturday Justin logged two won tackles and one accurate cross during a 0-0 draw Saturday versus Aston Villa.

Impact Justin and Caglar Soyuncu won more tackles than any of their teammates did Saturday. The former logged Leicester City's only accurate cross as well. Though the team possesses no elite defenders fantasy-wise, he may have more upside than others. Multiple injuries prevented Justin from showing his talent across most of 2021.

Starts in UEL win Justin (hamstring) started and played 62 minutes in Thursday's Europa League win.

Impact Justin was back in the squad Thursday, his first since injuring his hamstring in the Feb. 13 contest. He probably won't be ready to start Sunday at Arsenal on a short week, but Leicester are thin at full-back and it wouldn't be surprising if he was pushed if able.

Remains a week out Justin (hamstring) continues to rehab his injury and is about a "week or so away" from a return, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "He's out on the field, working with the reha...

Impact It looks like the hamstring injury will keep Justin out about a month, which isn't surprising. He probably wasn't completely fit when he suffered the injury following a return from his torn ACL, so he'll use the next week to try to get a little closer to form and fitness.

Extends Leicester contract Justin (hamstring) has extended his contract with Leicester City, keeping him at the club until 2026.

Impact Justin had two years left on his contract, but Leicester felt the need to lock the defender down another couple years despite recent injury issues. After returning from a year-long injury, he now has a hamstring issue that's keeping him out until March. The hope is that he'll get back to fitness before the season is over.

Impact As expected, Justin was playing a lot out of necessity because of Leicester's lack of options. Now, he'll miss the next couple weeks leading to more time for Luke Thomas and Ricardo Pereira. The defensive situation continues to be a struggle for Leicester and the more matches they play, it only seems to get worse.

Comes off injured Justin came off injured during Sunday's two-all draw with West Ham because of a possible hamstring injury.

Impact Justin came off injured and was replaced by Luke Thomas at left-back. Justin is only recently back from injury and this muscle injury is likely related to being out for almost a year. Leicester can't seem to stay healthy on the back line and Justin's likely absence is another player they'll miss.

Impact If fully fit, Justin would likely slide into right-back Wednesday due to Timothy Castagne's injury. However, given Justin's lack of pitch time, it wouldn't be surprising if he came off the bench Wednesday and then if all went well, was given the start Sunday against Brighton. For now, it's assumed Marc Albrighton will start at right-back Wednesday.
