Participates in training session Alcantara (illness) trained with the first team Friday and could be in the mix against Leicester City on Tuesday.

Impact Alcantara has missed one match already and likely would have been out for an additional contest before Sunday's clash with Leeds United was postponed. It will be a quick turnaround to play versus Leicester City on Tuesday but the fact that the midfielder is back on the training pitch is a step in the right direction.

Creates two chances Thiago attempted an off-target shot and created two chances prior to being taken off in the 83rd minute of Saturday's 1-0 win over Aston Villa.

Impact Thiago also won a tackle and made an interception and clearance before his withdrawal. Although he's scored twice in his last five appearances across all competitions, the midfielder is more known for his progressive qualities than end product, limiting his fantasy utility to an extent. That being said, Thursday's matchup against a Newcastle defense that has surrendered the most goals this season offers a favorable opportunity for Thiago if chosen to start.
