Leicester City captain Wes Morgan to miss games against Everton and Atletico Madrid with back injury

Leicester will be without captain Wes Morgan against both Everton and Atletico Madrid as the defender continues to nurse a back injury.

Morgan has missed the last three matches and he will remain on the sidelines at Goodison Park on Sunday, as well as sitting out the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final at the Vicente Calderon next Wednesday.

The 33-year-old has done some light training this week but Yohan Benalouane will continue to deputise at centre-half against Everton.

"Wes Morgan is still out, although he's put his boots on and been on the grass," said Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare.
