Brendan Rodgers, the Leicester manager, has confirmed that James Maddison, Hamza Choudhury and Ayoze Perez will be available for their clash with Southampton.
"It was a decision I have made. We have had an internal situation last weekend. The consequence was that they all missed the game," Rodgers said to Sky Sports.
"All those boys are good boys, good lads, but we have a standard on and off the pitch that we have to ensure we adhere to.
"The boys will rejoin the group after this game, the consequence of their behaviour was that they missed this game, but they will join the group next week and we will get ready for the semi-final."
