Leicester manager Claude Puel is hopeful that the groin injury sustained by midfielder Nampalys Mendy before last weekend's game against Tottenham is not serious.
The Frenchman was withdrawn from the Foxes starting line-up less than a hour before play was due to begin, after complaining of discomfort in the warm up.
He was replaced by fellow midfielder Wilfried Ndidi in the centre of midfield, and Puel hopes that Mendy's injury is nothing serious - claiming that he was withdrawn from the weekend proceedings as a precaution.
“He felt something in the warm-up," Puel said, as quoted by the Leicester Mercury.
