Fitness boost for Leicester as Barnes could be fit to face Liverpool

Leicester have been handed a huge injury boost with the news that Harvey Barnes could be fit for Thursday’s clash at the King Power.

According to FourFourTwo, the Englishman has a chance of featuring against the league leaders.

Barnes had been expected to miss the game after suffering an ankle injury against Manchester City but his return will come as a huge boost to Brendan Rodgers, as he looks to get one over his former employers.

Barnes has gone under the radar this season, but the 22-year-old has put in a number of impressive performances.

James Maddison may be dominating the headlines, but Barnes has registered five assists in the Premier League so far and he’ll be a key part of the Foxes’ attack if he does go on to start the game.

If Rodgers does decide to start him, Trent Alexander-Arnold will need to be wary of his tricky movement out on the left. Keeping him quiet will certainly help Liverpool’s chances of coming out on top in this game.
