The Irishman has made a return to the squad following his fractured leg

Defender Seamus Coleman expected to feature against Leicester for the first time in 11 months.

The Republic of Ireland international player featured with the Under-23’s win over Portsmouth last week for an hour  after recovering from a double fracture of his leg last March.
