Kasper Schmeichel is an injury doubt for Leicester's trip to Manchester United

Leicester are sweating on the fitness of Kasper Schmeichel ahead of their trip to Manchester United on Saturday.

Foxes manager Claudio Ranieri has revealed the Danish goalkeeper has picked up a new muscle injury after overcoming a recent concussion.

The 29-year-old's possible absence could give Ron-Robert Zieler the chance to start a third straight game.
