Leicester City have an all-important clash vs Arsenal on Saturday and before this crunch match, Wilfred Ndidi and James Justin have returned to training.
While Wilfred Ndidi has been out for only a few weeks due to a hamstring injury, James Justin has been on the sidelines since February after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament. He had to undergo surgery and then rehabilitation for several months.
But according to the Leicester Mercury, both these players have been seen training this week meaning they are well on course to be back to full fitness.

Will Wilfred Ndidi and James Justin play against Arsenal?
Wilfred Ndidi has missed the last three Premier League matches due to his injury and there’s a big chance he will be named in the starting XI against Arsenal.
The midfielder will not be risked in midweek against Brighton meaning he has a few more days to build up his fitness for Saturday’s early kickoff.
James Justin though will not be so lucky as we are confident that Brendan Rodgers will never throw him straight back into the side against a team like Arsenal.
Justin has been out for several months so he will be slowly brought back into the fold.
Nonetheless, the return of these players is a big boost for the Leicester City manager and if Wilfred Ndidi can start on the weekend then Leicester will have a really solid central midfield.
Boubakary Soumaré has been partnering Youri Tielemans in the absence of Ndidi but if the Nigerian is passed fit then it will be a straight swap in midfield.
