Ruud van Nistelrooy looks set to welcome back a key player after he was spotted in Leicester City’s most recent training photos.
Leicester were without a host of players as the Foxes were hammered 4-0 by Newcastle United on Saturday.
Hamza Choudhury and Oliver Skipp struggled to make an impact in the middle of the park, with the Foxes duo taking 60 minutes to make a tackle, while Mads Hermansen was subbed with an injured groin.
Boubakary Soumare was a huge miss for Leicester, as well as Wilfred Ndidi and Harry Winks, but thankfully, one star has been spotted back in training ahead of a six-pointer against Wolves on Sunday.
Harry Winks returns to Leicester training ahead of Wolves clash
In the most recent training pictures posted by Leicester’s social media channels, fans were delighted to see that Harry Winks was spotted in them.
The club captioned the post: “Winksy working back,” with several pics of the Foxes’ number eight working hard at the club’s training facilites.
Winks suffered a groin injury against Chelsea and has missed the last four games through injury but if the latest images are anything to go by, the 28-year-old may be back in contention.
How have Leicester fared without Harry Winks?
It’s been a mixed bag for Leicester while Winks has been on the treatment table.
The former Tottenham Hotspur man is yet to feature under Van Nistelrooy and in that time, has missed one win, one draw and two losses.

He was sidelined for the heavy loss at Brentford before also missing out on the win against West Ham United, the comeback draw against Brighton & Hove Albion, as well as the most recent defeat to Newcastle.
Given the struggles the Foxes have experienced in the middle with his absence, his return will be most welcome.
