Ricardo Pereira has been spotted posting another cryptic message on social media hours before Leicester City’s visit to Southampton.
The Foxes have made the trip to the south coast in what is expected to be a tight encounter between two teams that will be involved in the relegation battle come the end of the season.
Steve Cooper’s side finally won their first game of the campaign last time out and is looking to make it back-to-back victories, but once again, Pereira won’t be involved.

Ricardo Pereira responds to Leicester City line-up
Pereira has once again been named among the substitutes as his wait for his first taste of Premier League action goes on.
Cooper has preferred to use James Justin in the right-back position, meaning the Portuguese defender’s only action has come in the Carabao Cup.
The 30-year-old has already voiced his thoughts on his lack of minutes on social media, and it appears he has done so again.
On his Instagram story, Pereira shared a message sent to him which translates as saying: “Good game my beautiful” followed by a blue love heart and a bench emoji.
Steve Cooper hails ‘very important’ Ricardo Pereira
Despite favouring Justin, Cooper is insistent that Pereira has a part to play in his side and will be a vital asset for the Foxes throughout the season.
The Foxes boss said last month: “I speak to Ricky all of the time.
“He’s an excellent pro and a very important player in the dressing room, for the culture. He leads by example.
“He’ll want to play games but he knows he’s in a competition like every other player is. Sometimes you’ve got the shirt, you’ve got the nod, and other times you haven’t.”
