Extends Leicester contract Pereira has extended his contract at Leicester City, keeping him at the club until 2026.

Impact Pereira has rarely seen the field the last two years because of injury, but Leicester know what he can do, highlighted when he started 63 matches across the 2018/19 and 2019/20 campaigns. If he can stay healthy, he'll hope to find that role again and there's a chance he closes this season as a regular after going a full 90 in the most recent contest.

Scores on return Pereira scored once on two shots (one on goal) during Sunday's 2-2 draw with West Ham.

Impact Pereira scored once on his return to Premier League action. The wing-back isn't a consistent goal-scoring threat, so it might not be worth chasing continued offense from Pereira. He has a favorable clash with Wolves next time out.

Returns in Cup loss Pereira (leg) played 25 minutes off the bench in Sunday's FA Cup loss against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Pereira's return was a bit surprising Sunday, as he'd been out for a couple months following a broken leg. He's dealt with multiple injuries the last two years and probably shouldn't be pushed back into the XI immediately, but there's a chance that happens instead of starting James Justin every match.

Leicester continues its defense of the FA Cup away to Nottingham Forest in the fourth round

Pictured in training Pereira (leg) was pictured in training Tuesday over the international break.

Impact Pereira underwent surgery for a fractured leg a little more than a month ago, but he's already back in training. It's unclear where he's at fitness wise, but it's at least a positive update and he could be in the squad at some point in February. His return would be a boost given the recent injury to Timothy Castagne.

Out with fractured fibula Pereira will miss six-to-eight weeks after fracturing his fibula in the recent league Cup loss, reports Rob Tanner of The Athletic.

Impact It's yet another severe injury for Pereira with the lone positive being that this isn't a torn ACL. Pereira has struggled to stay healthy the last couple years and now it's a wonder if he'll get to full fitness by the end of the season given more time away from the pitch.

Will be out extended period Pereira did not suffer another ACL tear but will be out an extended period, he revealed via Instagram.

Impact This is a somewhat positive update on Pereira, but it's another injury that will cost him playing time. He's struggled to get back to the form he found in the 2019/20 campaign and was only recently back from a hamstring injury that had him out more than a month.

Exits injured Wednesday Pereira was forced off in the 42nd minute of Wednesday's Cup match with an undisclosed injury.

Impact Pereira was recently back from a hamstring injury and this was his first appearance since Nov. 7, so an early exit isn't good.

Expected out multiple weeks Pereira continues to battle a hamstring injury and will be out a couple more weeks, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "That hamstring [issue] is lingering a little bit, so he w...

Impact Pereira can't seem to stay healthy for an extended period and this injury will keep him out a few more matches despite his absence originally being a precautionary move. Marc Albrighton started in his place last match, but Luke Thomas remains an option to feature on the wing with Timothy Castagne.

Available against Leeds Pereira (undisclosed) will be an option versus Leeds United on Sunday.

Impact Pereira should be in the mix for a spot in the starting XI with his undisclosed injury seemingly behind him. If the defender does get onto the pitch, it could be in a midfield role, a spot which he filled in his previous three contests. In his eight appearances this year, Pereira has registered two assists, 21 tackles (12 won) and 14 clearances.

Ruled out for Arsenal clash Pereira (undisclosed) was omitted from Leicester City's squad list to face Arsenal Saturday.

Status uncertain against Arsenal Pereira is in doubt versus Arsenal on Saturday with an undisclosed injury. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "There's maybe a question mark on Ricardo Pereira. We'll see how...

Impact Pereira started each of the club's previous three contests, including a UEL matchup with Spartak Moscow, in which he recorded four crosses (one accurate), 11 tackles (seven won) and eight clearances. The defender was utilized in a more midfield role for those matches which could slightly bolster his fantasy upside.

Creates chance in win Pereira created a chance and won one of four tackles in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Brentford. He also made four clearances and an interception in the match.

Impact Pereira was solid on both sides of the ball on Sunday as his side overcame Brentford. He will want to have a similar performance next weekend against Arsenal, which are 10th in the Premier League through nine matches this season.

Busy defensively in loss Pereira made four tackles and three interceptions during Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Brighton.

On bench Saturday Pereira (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Pereira returned to full training this week, though with plenty of options available to manager Brendan Rodgers, he'll only get a spot on the bench, with Timothy Castagne starting at right-back.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Training, available Saturday Pereira (hamstring) returned to training this week and is expected to be available Saturday against Manchester City, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact Pereira picked up the injury in the match before the break and it kept him out less than two weeks. That being the case, there's a decent chance he isn't risked immediately given that it's a muscle injury. Plus, the return of Timothy Castagne allows for Pereira to be fully rested before making a return to the XI.
