Leicester City team news: Kasper Schmeichel to have late fitness test as Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez to start against Porto
JAMIE VARDY and Riyad Mahrez are set to start for Leicester against FC Porto at their first Champions League game at the King Power Stadium.
The pair were taken off at half time during Leicester's thumping at the hands of Manchester United.
Claudio Ranieri's Foxes were already 4-0 down by that point - and Vardy's replacement Demarai Gray scored a consolation screamer.
But the Italian should include Kasper Schmeichel after the Dane got through training at Belvoir Drive - although the management say they will make a late call on his fitness.
Ron-Robert Zieler played in the 4-1 defeat at Old Trafford, but Ranieri has a full-strength first team to choose from.
Nempalys Mendy is a doubt following a twisted ankle at training, while Matty James remains out with a long-term ankle problem.
