Mavididi 'close' but still an injury doubt for Portsmouth match

Leicester City winger Stephy Mavididi is "close" to a return after suffering a hamstring injury but remains a doubt for the game against Portsmouth on Saturday (19:45 BST).

The 27-year-old missed out on the side's most recent Championship match against Swansea and while boss Marti Cifuentes would love to have him back in the squad, the Spaniard does not want to rush a comeback and risk further injury.

"We are assessing. As always I like to sit with the medical, listen to them," Cifuentes told BBC Radio Leicester.
