Am I the only one that still wouldn’t mind seeing him back at the KP?

I’d love to see him back … with Brendan I could see him improve
And I’d love to see slimani kel n Vardy as a front 3.
3.4.3 or 4.3.3 (ndidi/madders/tielmans) or however brendan thinks he could fit them in

Should Leicester City recall Islam Slimani from his loan move to AS Monaco?Yes, would give great cover
No, he's not really needed

This season, the striker, who is valued at £7.2 million (as per Transfermarkt), has scored seven and assisted seven in 14 games in league and cup for the Ligue 1 outfit (as per Transfermarkt).
To further cement the strong season that the 31-year-old is having while out on loan, Slimani has an average rating for the season so far of 7.22/10 (per WhoScored), leaving fans calling for his return.
Islam is having a good season at Monaco. Should be back at King Power to add more firepower up front.

Get that beast back, play him in a front 3 with Kelechi in behind Vards and play long balls up from the back ?

What do we think?
If Brendan Rodgers feels as though he could be lacking in attack, a recall for the Algerian might work out perfectly for the Foxes with Slimani clearly firing on all cylinders.
However, as a condition of the loan move, there may be a clause which does not allow City to recall their frontman, only those behind the deal will know.
