Steve Cooper is working with a reduced Leicester City squad currently as 12 of his players are away on international duty.
Leicester City began a crucial run of games with a 1-0 win over Bournemouth prior to the international break in a result that relieved some of the pressure that was mounting on Steve Cooper.
Next up for Leicester is a trip to fellow newly-promoted Southampton, before facing rivals Nottingham Forest and the other promoted club in Ipswich Town.
It is no understatement to say that this run of games will likely decide Cooper‘s fate as Leicester manager, as well as have a huge say on the Foxes’ survival chances.
Therefore, Cooper will be hoping Leicester’s international contingent will return unscathed this week and he has received a real boost In that regard.
Victor Kristiansen returns to Leicester City early
Leicester have a trio of players representing Denmark this fortnight.
Goalkeeper Mads Hermansen is acting as back-up to former Foxes stopper Kasper Schmeichel, whilst Jannik Vestergaard made his return from injury in the defeat against Spain.
Victor Kristiansen also started that game up against Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal and picked up a booking that means he is suspended for the game against Switzerland on Tuesday night.
