Leicester City coach, Craig Shakespeare has provided reasons striker Kelechi Iheanacho may be sidelined for tomorrow’s Premier League against Brighton.
Iheanacho has visited a specialist as he continues to struggle with a toe complaint.
The Nigerian international sustained the injury at the beginning of the month in Leicester’s final pre-season friendly against Borussia Monchengladbach.
Shakespeare said, “He didn’t [train on Thursday]. He’s had a bit of discomfort with his toe so we’ve taken him out. I’ll make a late decision tomorrow morning.
“We’ve been able to extend his fitness because of the discomfort he’s got in there.
“But he’s been to see a specialist and we’re trying to give him enough time to recover from that.
“It’s been very hard because he’s been behind the fitness levels of the others because of his late start with us.
“So we’re giving him every opportunity to get his fitness levels up and so we’ll make a late decision on that.
“He can run but not at full pelt. Striking a ball, if he catches it wrong on his toe, it’s a problem. So sometimes he’s getting a lot of discomfort, so we’re trying to manage that as best as we can.
“It’s a natural thing for most players in terms of a specialist in that area. It’s really just a second opinion.”
Other injury worries are, Danny Drinkwater (thigh), Vicente Iborra (groin), Robert Huth (ankle) and Nampalys Mendy (ankle).
