Conor Coady is yet to make an appearance for Leicester City since signing from Wolverhampton Wanderers but will bring experience to the team.
The former Wolves captain signed for the Foxes this summer for £8 million but injury has hampered the start to his career in the East Midlands.
The centre back has been reported to be back in training, meaning a debut will come soon.
Enzo Maresca suffered his first loss as Leicester boss against Hull City following another low scoring affair.
So far this season, in the Championship, the Foxes have conceded in all but one games, making all their games tighter than they needed to be.
What will Conor Coady add to Leicester City?
This season, a back three consisting of Callum Doyle, Jannik Vestergaard and Wout Faes has been favoured by Maresca.
With Doyle the only name there with any experience of the league, aged just 19, there needs to be more in the squad.
New signings, Cesare Casadei and Tom Cannon have played in the Championship before but they are also very young.
It can be said that more top experience could be needed.
Especially given the addition of youngsters like Abdul Issahaku, Yunus Akgun and Mads Hermansen who have never played in England.
Coady provides that experience in spades.
While at Wolves he achieved promotion as part of one of the best Championship teams of all time.
Comfortable as a defender in a back three, he provides leadership to the back line which can’t be underestimated.
He will be a massive boost once he returns and will allow the whole squad to play more freely.
