    Some potentially very good news from Claudio Ranieri on N'Golo Kante, who missed the midweek draw with West Brom through injury. "Today he made all the training session. He could play," the manager reveals.
    Ranieri adds that goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, who has had a back injury, "is ok."

    ... nobody but that one article reporting it ... no mention from Claudio ... my guess ... no substance.

    Bloody hope Kanté plays. King played well in midweek but Kanté is absolutely pivotal to our chances of winning the league.

    I hope we don't rush him back and then he breaks down again and is out for the rest of the season.

    King played well and scored an outstanding finish, I think he is only player on our books who buries that chance

    It would be unfair for him to get dropped but its Kante

    Not really - Kante hasn't been dropped, he has earnt his place. If you have to fight your way back into the team after playing an every game this season and been stand out then something is wrong.

    No he wasn't dropped but such is life someone's bad luck is anothers fortune.

    Ranieri is paid to make the decision and the last thing we want is Kante put in and he does some serious damage to his hamstring, King performed very well in the week so its a good problem for Claudio

    Amartey played well against Norwich but Simpson immediately replaced him. Ranieri knows he needs his best players right now, there isn't any room for sentiment. If anyone will accept that, it'll be Andy King.

    Amartey was one of the weakest players in the pitch and we were lucky that Norwich didn't target him.

    Well Kante showed zero effects of his strain. I think Dave Rennie just applied abit of WD40 to him and sent him back out

    Drinkwater, Vardy, King, Kante, Lawrence, Kramaric, Fuchs and Inler all look like going to the Euros

    .. don't forget Albrighton and Simpson <whistle> ...

    ... whilst that is, of course, most unlikely ... it is testament to the club's progress that we will, potentially, have so many players at a major international tournament ..

    Kante, Pogba, Payet, ben Arfa and Matuidi is a serious midfield. Can see them winning it.

    Lloris
    Sagna Koscielny Laporte Digne
    Kante Matuidi
    Ben Arfa Pogba Payet
