Wilfred Ndidi missing for Leicesters clash with Leeds

Wilfred Ndidi is a fresh injury absentee for Leicester as they prepare to host Leeds.

The midfielder suffered a slight hamstring tear during the draw at Everton in midweek and he will be out for around 10 days.

Jonny Evans also had to be withdrawn at Goodison Park after suffering with bad vision but the central defender is fine and will be involved on Sunday. Top scorer Jamie Vardy continues to recover after hernia surgery.

Leeds will be without Diego Llorente for the trip to the King Power Stadium.

The centre-back lasted just 10 minutes into his first start for the club at Newcastle in midweek before going down appearing to clutch his hamstring, and the Spaniard is set to be sidelined for three to four weeks.

Head coach Marcelo Bielsa says there are no new “important injuries” following the 2-1 win at St James’ Park but defender Robin Koch (knee) and long-term absentees Gaetano Berardi (knee) and Adam Forshaw (hip) are once again set to miss out.

Leicester provisional squad: Schmeichel, Ward, Jakupovic, Justin, Fuchs, Castagne, Evans, Thomas, Fofana, Soyuncu, Pereira, Choudhury, Tielemans, Mendy, Amartey, Albrighton, Gray, Maddison, Barnes, Under, Perez, Iheanacho.

Leeds provisional squad: Meslier, Alioski, Cooper, Dallas, Ayling, Raphinha, Struijk, Klich, Phillips, Rodrigo, Harrison, Bamford, Hernandez, Roberts, Poveda, Shackleton, Costa, Davis, Casilla.
