Leicester suffer injury blow as Jonny Evans limps out of warm-up prior to Newcastle defeat just EIGHT days before their FA Cup final with Chelsea amid a tough run-in to seal a Champions League spot

Leicester City have been dealt a blow to their season run-in as Jonny Evans limped off before the Foxes' 4-2 defeat by Newcastle on Friday night with a heel injury.

The Northern Irishman was named in Brendan Rodgers' starting eleven for the Premier League clash but limped out just minutes before kick-off after picking up a knock.

Evans, who was replaced in the team by Marc Albrighton which forced a formation change for Leicester, had been struggling with a heel problem in recent weeks but has played in the Foxes' last six league matches.
