2016-17 UEFA Champions League Round of 16 Second Leg Leicester City Vs Sevilla Tuesday March 14,2017

Leicester have a near full-strength squad available as they aim to overturn a 2-1 deficit in their Champions League last-16 tie with Spanish side Sevilla.

French midfielder Nampalys Mendy will be missing after he suffered a knee injury during training.

The second leg represents the Foxes' first home knockout game in Europe's premier club competition.

They were outplayed in the first leg in Spain but were given hope thanks to Jamie Vardy's second-half goal.

The first-leg defeat was Claudio Ranieri's final match as City manager before he was sacked, nine months after leading them to the Premier League title.

Since then they have won both their Premier League matches 3-1 - against Liverpool and Hull - under Craig Shakespeare, who has been appointed as boss until the end of the season.
