In doubt against United Vestergaard suffered an undisclosed injury that could force him out of the squad versus Manchester United on Saturday. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "Jannik Vestergaard h...

Impact Fortunately for the Foxes, it appears Jonny Evans (foot) may be an option Saturday and would almost certainly step into the starting XI if Vestergaard can't play. In terms of fantasy production, Vestergaard's absence may only affect those managers in formats that value defensive stats considering he has registered 31 clearances, 13 tackles (10 won) and five interceptions but only three shots (one on target) in six starts this season.

Makes three blocks in loss Vestergaard made three blocks in 61 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 loss to Manchester City.

Impact Vestergaard got the start in this game after overcoming a knee issue but ran out of gas against a tough opponent. He'll hope to be in better shape by Sunday's trip to Brighton, which are tied for the second-fewest shots on goal in the Premier League.

Starting Saturday Vestergaard (knee) in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Vestergaard makes his Leicester City debut in an extremely tough matchup, partnering Caglar Soyuncu in central defense. While the Foxes have a number of players capable of playing center-back, Vestergaard seems likely to get plenty of starts this season.

May be option Saturday Vestergaard (knee) is "progressing very well" and could be available for Saturday's match against Manchester City, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "That's what we have to ass...

Impact Vestergaard used the break to recover, but Rodgers still didn't seem confident in the defender's ability to start. Even then, it'll be tough to give the newcomer his first start in a huge spot against Manchester City, so it wouldn't be surprising if his team debut was delayed a week or two.

Hoping to train next week Vestergaard is hoping to get back in training next week after suffering a knee injury, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact It's been a rough start for Vestergaard at his new club, as he arrived lacking fitness and then picked up this knee injury. Daniel Amartey is expected to continue at center-back until Vestergaard is ready to feature alongside Caglar Soyuncu.

Injured in training Vestergaard suffered an injury in training and isn't an option for Monday's match against West Ham, reports David Ornstein of The Athletic.

Impact Vestergaard wasn't expected to start because of a lack of fitness and now he apparently has an injury. It's a tough start for the new signing, who apparently isn't completely fit upon coming over from Southampton. In his place, Daniel Amartey will continue to start for Leicester.

Willock joins Newcastle, Vestergaard to Leicester in EPL

Newcastle signed Joe Willock from Arsenal for a reported fee of around $35 million after the midfielder spent a successful spell on loan at the northeast club last season

Transfers to Leicester City Vestergaard joined Leicester City from Southampton on Friday. He's signed a three-year contract with the Foxes.

Impact Vestergaard looks like another smart signing for Leicester, as he scored three goals, made 50 tackles and kept six clean sheets in 30 appearances last season. Given the serious preseason injury suffered by Wesley Fofana, James Justin's torn ACL and an aging Jonny Evans, Vestergaard makes even more sense as he's likely to get plenty of starting changes early in the season alongside Caglar Soyuncu. With Kasper Schmeichel behind him as one of the more consistent goalkeepers in the Premier League, Vestergaard's numbers could look even better if he's able to stay in the lineup throughout the season.

Wins four aerials in 2-1 defeat Vestergaard had four aerials won, five tackles (two won), two blocked shots and seven clearances in Wednesday's 2-1 extra time defeat to England.

Impact Vestergaard was very busy and delivered a great stat line despite the negative final outcome of the match. The center-back couldn't get much offensively this campaign despite his six shots in as many appearances but was productive defensively with one clean sheet in five starts along with decent numbers in multiple peripheral categories.

Takes two shots in 4-1 victory Vestergaard had two shots (one on target), three aerials won, three interceptions, four clearances and team-high 57 passes completed in Monday's 4-1 win over Russia.

Impact Vestergaard had an impressive all around display and was very active on both sides of the ball delivering a great stat haul. Despite no goals yet he's offered a solid upside mounting a total of four shots in his three starts thus far. The center-back is still looking for his first clean sheet at the Euro but the struggling offensively Wales could offer him an opportunity for a shutout at the Round of 16.

Holds down starting role Vestergaard finished with three goals, 119 clearances and six clean sheets in 29 starts this season.

Impact Vestergaard held onto his starting role this season despite losing minutes the prior campaign. In total, he made 29 starts compared to just 17 the season prior. He's expected to remain there next to Jan Bednarek, but with Mohammed Salisu now in contention, there could be some swapping at center-back for the Saints in the future.
