Jamie Vardy remains desperate to play against his former club Fleetwood Town but is rated at only 50/50.
The Leicester striker is prepared to play through the pain barrier for an emotional return to the ground where he enjoyed much success.
But the decision may be taken out of his hands with manager Claude Puel cautious of aggravating the groin injury that kept him out of Monday's 3-0 win over Huddersfield.
Vardy scored 34 goals in his only season at Fleetwood in 2011-12, firing the club to the Conference title and earning a record £1million move to Leicester.
