Leicester linchpin Danny Drinkwater fit again after sitting out England duty as Claudio Ranieri says it tinker-time

Danny Drinkwater has returned to fitness for Leicester and is in contention to start against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

But Claudio Ranieri has conceded he will rotate his team ahead of Tuesday's Champions League match with Copenhagen.

Drinkwater has recovered after pulling out of Gareth Southgate's England squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Malta and Slovenia with a groin injury and the midfielder trained fully with the Premier League champions on Thursday morning.
