Leicester BOOST! Danny Simpson could be available for Burnley clash after training return

Leicester City defender Danny Simpson has returned to training and could feature against Burnley on Saturday.

The Englishman injured his hamstring during the 4-1 defeat to Liverpool last weekend and missed Wednesday's Champions League win over Brugge.

Initially it had been feared that the right-back could be out for a number of weeks, but now Claudio Ranieri has revealed the defender could feature on Saturday against Burnley at the King Power.

"Danny Simpson is training very well and he is ready to play," said Ranieri.

However, while Simpson maybe back in contention, both Nampalys Mendy and Matty James are sidelined for tomorrow's match.
