Ferdinand to miss Fulham clash

Les Ferdinand’s knee injury is expected to keep the Leicester striker out of tomorrow’s Walkers Stadium clash with Fulham.

The 37-year-old veteran frontman, who has contributed 12 goals to the Foxes’ cause so far this season, is set to be sidelined but Scottish international Paul Dickov should be available after recovering from a knee injury of his own.

Defender Callum Davidson is sidelined by long-term groin and pelvic problems while the thigh injury afflicting Lee Morris continues to require treatment.

Provisional squad: Walker, Scimeca, Heath, Dabizas, Thatcher, Scowcroft, Freund, Izzet, Guppy, Dickov, Bent, Coyne, Canero, Nalis, McKinlay, Benjamin.
