    He is set to play for the under 21's today

    Great to see him return but i dont see where he fits in now with Gokhan Inler not even getting a sniff

    Glad to see he appears well on the road to full recovery but don't see him shifting either of Drinkwater or Kante or a change of shape to accommodate him. Good for Ranieri to have another option though.

    Hopefully he will be inspired by Drinkwater and raise his game considerably as he is currently behind Kante and Inler.

    Difficult one - one of our stand outs but how can he even get a look in with the 2 first choice untouchable and inler and king deservably in the wings

    Gunna be the same as Inler and Kramaric, will haveto wait his turn. He may replace King as a more attacking midfield option after 80 minutes.

    I always saw James as more of a DM - as a result he would be competing with Kante and Inler.

    King is more attacking so would compete with Drinkwater in the middle and Mahrez/Ulloa/Okazaki higher up the pitch behind Vardy.

    Hasn't he only scored about five goals in about three years for us? Last time he scored was during our promotion season, and it was the only goal he got that year. Not exactly the most potent attacking threat, got to agree he'd be better in a DM role.
