Considering our fixture list and the 6 week break during the WC, it might just be worth risking him against Leicester.
I reckon that's how Pep will see it. Start him and if he is injured you've 5 subs to use and if the injury is worse as a result he can sit out a nothing CL tie he wouldn't play in anyway, and two winnable home games in the league. The league cup semi he would be rested for anyway probably, although with the squad off to the WC I'm sure Pep will play a strong team for that knowing if they're tired for the WC that's not his problem!
