Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is ready to hand the struggling Foxes a major injury boost.
The Denmark international has been out for over a month with a fractured hand but could make his comeback imminently.
He is likely to be fit for Tuesday's Premier League trip to Bournemouth and could even face former club Manchester City on Saturday if he convinces boss Claudio Ranieri he is fit.
Ranieri said: "He is getting better and maybe he is ready for the Bournemouth match. I think Saturday may be too soon but let me speak with him tomorrow morning.
