Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare has revealed that Wes Morgan is back in training but remains "50-50" for next week's Champions League meeting with Atletico Madrid.
The Jamaica international has been absent for the Foxes' last five games, including the quarter-final first leg with Atletico in Madrid last Wednesday, due to an ongoing back problem.
Shakespeare has already ruled his skipper out of this weekend's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace, and he is not willing to rush him back for next Tuesday even with fellow centre-back Robert Huth missing through suspension.
"We will only put him in if ready," he told reporters. "The conversation will be with Wes and the medical staff and we will give him every opportunity from now to then, but if he is not ready we will not take a gamble.
"He's trained yesterday, not all with the squad, but I have said before it will be 50-50 for Atletico Madrid. He won't feature against Palace."
Morgan has 27 appearances under his belt in the Premier League this season and a further eight outings in City's run to the last eight of the Champions League.
