Another huge clash awaits Leicester City this weekend as they prepare to face relegation rivals Portsmouth. The Foxes are in big trouble with four games remaining, now five points from safety and with a couple of the teams around them picking up in form.
This weekend's opponents Portsmouth are one of those sides, now four points above the drop zone and looking strong candidates for safety after huge back-to-back wins over promotion hopefuls Ipswich Town and Middlesbrough.
Pompey will be thinking that a w in here will all-but see them to safety, while City know they likely have to win to avoid a virtually impossible path to safety with three games remaining. Fratton Park is likely to be bouncing for this one, and ahead of the game, we have rounded up the latest injury news surrounding both teams.
Jordan James - Doubt
Gary Rowett has said: “JJ is the main one. His heel has still been sore and a bit problematic, which is why I didn’t start him at the weekend. There’s every chance we might still be in that position for Saturday. The challenge is with the injury that he’s got; it’s a sore heel. Every time he tries to come on for 20 minutes or trains, it irritates it. Sometimes that sets him back a couple of days."
Aaron Ramsey - Doubt
Ramsey could finally return to play some part. Rowett has said: “Aaron Ramsey is back training, so we’ll assess when we think he’s fit enough to be involved. Of course, he’s another player like JJ who has goals in him. You want plenty of options on the bench if you can."
Victor Kistiansen - Out
Kristiansen is out until at least the end of this month with a knee issue.
Florian Bianchini - Out
Bianchini has been out for much of the season, and while he could return before the end of the season from his knee injury, this one will come too soon.
Franco Umeh - Out
Umeh is going to miss the rest of the season with a hamstring issue.
Aji Alese - Out
Alese has been out since February with a quad injury and will not return this season.
Josh Murphy - Out
Murphy has recently returned to training after a broken matatarsal, but this one is likely to come too soon.
Gustavo Caballero - Doubt
It was hoped Caballero would return from for the Ipswich game, but he missed out. He will remain a doubt until confirmed otherwise.
Zak Swanson - Out
Swanson underwent knee surgery just over a week ago and will play no further part this season.
Mark Kosznovszky - Out
Kosznovszky is out for the season after picking up a serious knee injury in December.
Ebou Adams - Doubt
The midfielder could return here after a recent layoff.
