Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca has admitted Jamie Vardy, Ricardo Pereira and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are doubts for this weekend's fixture against West Bromwich Albion.
The Foxes could be without three of their most important first-team players this weekend, according to the Italian, who is hopeful Championship Team of the Year incumbent Dewsbury-Hall can overcome illness to play a part at the King Power Stadium tomorrow lunchtime. “We have some doubts over Jamie who had a kick in the week and Ricky because of the amount of games he has played. Kiernan has been unwell. Kasey is back,' Maresca told reporters on Friday afternoon.
Failure to win against Carlos Corberan's Baggies could mean the Saints are within two points of Maresca's men when they visit Leicestershire next Tuesday, giving Russell Martin's side an added incentive to secure victory and potentially leapfrog them into an automatic promotion spot. “For Jamie and Ricky, it’s more a physical problem. Kiernan has been just unwell. We have still 24 hours. We’ll see if we can have them back. “I don’t think Ricky has struggled this year.
