De Laet hands Leicester fitness boost

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has revealed that Ritchie De Laet should be fit to return to the Leicester City squad to play Wolverhampton Wanderers in two weeks.

De Laet hurt his back before the club's 1-0 win over Blackpool at the weekend, but Pearson has insisted that the former Manchester United defender will return for the club's next match.

Pearson said: "His back was stiff and he felt that he couldn't play. He will be fine for Wolves."

Leicester City are 10th after their first four matches in the Championship.
