Another injury-plagued campaign
M/DLeicester City
June 14, 2023
Pereira was only able to make 10 Premier League appearances (five starts) this season, scoring a goal and recording one assist from right-back.
ANALYSIS
Pereira tore his Achilles in preseason and wasn't able to feature until February, and then he missed another significant chunk of April with a hamstring issue. The 29-year-old hasn't been able to record 1,000 minutes of playing time in a league campaign since 2019/20, and Leicester is now moving down to the Championship following their relegation from the Premier League.

M/DLeicester City
October 21, 2020
Pereira (knee) could return to action in around six weeks, according to Karl Matchett of The Independent.
ANALYSIS
Leicester City could have one key figure back from injury soon, as Pereira has been out since March due to a knee injury that required surgery. The talented right-back is one of the best two-way players in the EPL and his return could represent a huge boost for Leicester defensively, especially with Caglar Soyuncu set to face an extended spell on the sidelines.
