Leicester Trio Set To Miss Out

A trio of Leicester players are fighting to be fit for tomorrow's Carling Cup clash at Edgar Street.

Captain and defender Paddy McCarthy has an ankle problem and played in Saturday's match but is doubtful for tomorrow after aggrivating the injury. Paul Henderson (ankle) and Andy Johnson, who is reported to be "a little stiff", are also doubts.

Manager Rob Kelly has confirmed that he sees the game as a first team fixture despite the injury problems, telling the press: "We will take another look at the squad on the morning of the game, but there is no doubt that we are treating it as a first-team fixture. They knocked Coventry out in the last round. We won't take it lightly."
