Leicester City captain Wes Morgan remains a doubt for Tuesday's visit of Sunderland, having missed the win over Stoke because of a back injury.
Winger Marc Albrighton was another absentee for that game due to illness but he could be available.
Sunderland's top scorer Jermain Defoe is a doubt with an unspecified problem.
Manager David Moyes said at Monday's pre-match press conference: "Defoe didn't train yesterday. I can't give you any more of an update than that."
Lee Cattermole could his first appearance since September after a hip problem, while Victor Anichebe might also be available.
