Harvey Barnes is due to have surgery on his knee injury on Tuesday but Leicester's growing injury crisis could soon be boosted by the return of James Maddison, who is hoping to be back on the grass later this week.
Manager Brendan Rodgers was reluctant to put a timetable on Maddison's recovery but he confirmed the medical staff are optimistic about going through running and movement patterns with the midfielder this week. The next step will be kicking a ball again.
'He's feeling better so we're hopeful that later in the week he can get some movement out on the grass,' he said.
