Leicester City boss Marti Cifuentes said full-backs Ricardo Pereira and James Justin could return from injury to play against Charlton Athletic on Saturday.
New club captain Pereira, 31, is yet to feature for the Foxes this season due to a recurring hamstring injury.
"He was very eager to come with the team, so he travelled to Preston, but we didn't risk him. It's very good news for us," Cifuentes told BBC Radio Leicester.
Justin, 27, suffered a dead leg in Saturday's defeat at Preston North End and was substituted, but he could also feature at The Valley.
