Kelechi Iheanacho
Leicester manager Claude Puel has said striker Kelechi Iheanacho suffered a broken hand on international duty.
Iheanacho started Nigeria’s victory in Poland last week but was absent from the squad for the 2-0 defeat to Serbia at Barnet on Tuesday night.
Speaking ahead of Saturday’s trip to Brighton in the Premier League, Puel said: ‘Kelechi Iheanacho has a broken hand. We will see if he can play with this injury.
‘I think he fell but it’s not a bad injury. We will see if it will prevent him playing in this game or not.’
Puel expects promoted Brighton to be a lot more confident having taken significant steps towards Premier League safety and has warned his players of a tough test in Saturday’s away clash.
Brighton are 12th in the league with 34 points from 30 games and are in a good position to retain their top-flight status with eight games remaining in the current campaign.
‘Brighton have almost secured their position in the table. Now they can play with freedom and quality, just thinking about their play, not their safety. It will be a dangerous team,’ Puel told the news conference.
‘Their manager has done good, hard work. They play football with a good structure and solidity, it always difficult to play against this team… they are a team with confidence, but it is the same for us.’
