Being evaluated for knock Pedro will face a late-fitness test ahead of Sunday's matchup with Leicester City after picking up an undisclosed injury.

Impact Pedro previously missed time due to a groin problem but it's not immediately clear if this latest knock is related.

Underwhelming in return Pedro had one tackle (one won) and one interception in Wednesday's 0-0 tie against Everton.

Impact It was a less than stellar return to the starting XI for Pedro after having missed the previous game with a groin problem. In fact, the forward hasn't put a single effort on target in his last 10 appearances, including seven starts. As such, fantasy players may not want to bank on him putting one into the netting any time soon.

Starting versus Everton Pedro (groin) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Everton.

Impact Pedro returns to the squad Wednesday despite dealing with a minor tweak to his groin. It's unknown how healthy he is, but he's one of the only regulars in the squad, especially in the attack with Ken Sema and Samuel Kalu flanking him.

MAY 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out with groin issue Pedro is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace because of a groin issue.
