How Leicester City could line up against Burnley

How Leicester City could line up against Burnley

Brendan Rodgers has to contend with a growing list of injuries to key personnel ahead of Leicester City's Premier League clash with Burnley on Wednesday.

Influential midfielder Harvey Barnes is the latest player to have been ruled out after sustaining an injury in the 3-1 loss to Arsenal.

Barnes will miss at least six weeks, while the likes of Ayoze Perez, Dennis Praet, James Justin and Wes Morgan have also been ruled out of the trip to Turf Moor.

Rodgers is hopeful that Jamie Vardy will shake off a knock in time to feature, though the striker has scored just once in 12 outings and may be replaced by Kelechi Iheanacho.

Cengiz Under and Marc Albrighton are in contention to start against Burnley as Rodgers desperately attempts to plug the holes.

Daniel Amartey is another in line for a recall to the starting lineup should Jonny Evans fail to shake off a minor injury sustained last time out.

Leicester possible starting lineup: Schmeichel; Castagne, Evans, Soyuncu, Thomas; Ndidi, Tielemans; Pereira, Under, Albrighton; Vardy
