Brendan Rodgers is facing an injury crisis unparalleled in recent years at Leicester.
He now has a huge selection headache after losing two more frontline players ahead of trips to Burnley and Brighton over the next six days in what is a frenetic fixture schedule.
Wesley Fofana, Wes Morgan, Jonny Evans — who will have the calf injury that forced him off during Sunday’s 3-1 home loss to Arsenal assessed — along with their fellow casualty James Justin would make a decent back four.
Likewise, Harvey Barnes — who will have surgery to repair knee cartilage and miss at least six weeks after going off on a stretcher against Arsenal — James Maddison, Ayoze Perez and Dennis Praet carry plenty of attacking firepower.
