The Leicester City man may be reinstated into Steve Cooper's side after the international break.

The Foxes are looking for their first win in the Premier League season after their promotion in the 2023/24 season.

There have been positive signs across the board, despite just having one point in three games, as home performances against Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa have shown Steve Cooper's side to play with a sense of purpose against better opposition on paper.

The game against Aston Villa in particular gave Cooper plenty of positives to take into the international break, and there is no doubt that he will look to play with a similar side.

However, one player that was an unused substitute for Leicester City against Aston Villa could very well be reinstated into the team after a brilliant performance whilst on international duty.

Jannik Vestergaard and Victor Kristiansen were both handed game time for Denmark, whilst Mads Hermansen found himself out of the starting side.

Both players played well for their nation, however it was Vestergaard who stole the show, with the Danish media referring to the centre-back as 'brilliant', with them suggesting that he did incredibly well at 'directing the defence' in their win against Switzerland.

Vestergaard started the first two league games of the 2024/25 Premier League season, however was an unused substitute for the game against Aston Villa.

After such a brilliant performance on his travels, there are no doubts that he deserves to be back at the heart of the defence.

This means that he will be in contention alongside Conor Coady, Caleb Okoli and Wout Faes as one of the two centre-backs in the Foxes side, and it is by no means obvious who should be starting for Leicester City.

Whilst it would be harsh to not reinstate Vestergaard's place in the starting 11 against Crystal Palace, the abundance of options may make it difficult for Cooper to do so, leaving him a very difficult choice as to who he will utilise in the away clash.

Wout Faes is undoubtedly going to be unmoved in the side, so there is every chance that Cooper may look to replace new Leicester City summer arrival Okoli.
