Leicester City will be without out Belgian full-back Timothy Castagne for up to two months but James Justin is closer to returning.
Castagne is set to have an operation on his thigh after complications from recovering from a dead leg following the Foxes’ 1-0 win over Liverpool back in December. The former Atalanta player has featured 21 times for his club so far this season.
Ricardo Pereira is also recovering from his leg break so James Justin is returning at just the right time for Brendan Rogers. Justin played 45 minutes for the Leicester U23 team in their 5-0 defeat to Chelsea U23s earlier this month.
The 23-year old suffered knee ligament damage last season and has his recovery interrupted by other injury issues.
Leicester are back in action Wednesday evening when Tottenham Hotspur travel to the King Power Stadium.
