Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare will not risk Wes Morgan's long-term fitness as the Foxes captain bids to overcome a hamstring injury.
Morgan recently missed six matches with a back problem but returned against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League this month, only to hobble out of the second leg of the quarter-final defeat late on with hamstring trouble.
That injury ruled him out of the loss at Arsenal and the central defender remains a doubt for Leicester's Premier League trip to West Brom on Saturday.
With the defending champions seemingly almost safe from the threat of relegation, Shakespeare insists Morgan will not be rushed back.
