Provides late spark off bench

April 10, 2025
Pereira registered two tackles (zero won) and one clearance in Monday's 3-0 loss versus Newcastle United.
ANALYSIS
Though he saw limited minutes, Pereira was able to provide a lift for Leicester against Newcastle on Monday. In 16 minutes played, the right back completed the most dribbles of any player in the match with three, made five passes into the final third, and won seven of his eight ground duels. Pereira has not started a match for Leicester since November second, but hopefully his good performance can earn him starting minutes against Brighton on Saturday.

Fit but not ready for starting role

April 3, 2025
Pereira is fit once again but is not yet an option for starting time, according to manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy. "He had a great 20 minutes. Of course, with the injury he has, we're careful with him. Now he's back after two days training only with the first team. Monday is soon but he's definitely someone we're very happy is available and can make an impact on Monday, but as a starter it's quite early."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might return in the next few weeks
DLeicester City
October 21, 2020
Pereira (knee) could return to action in around six weeks, according to Karl Matchett of The Independent.
ANALYSIS
Leicester City could have one key figure back from injury soon, as Pereira has been out since March due to a knee injury that required surgery. The talented right-back is one of the best two-way players in the EPL and his return could represent a huge boost for Leicester defensively, especially with Caglar Soyuncu set to face an extended spell on the sidelines.
