Craig Shakespeare has told the BBC, Wes Morgan and Nampalys Mendy are still out injured. He said Wes hasn't trained with the group yet and is still a way off from joining with the squad. 

Better news though for Marc Albrighton who trained yesterday after suffering what is thought to have been a 24 hour bug.

Shakespeare was questioned about 20-year-old Wilfred Ndidi who scored a wonder goal on Saturday.

There's been some speculation that he's attracted the attention of other clubs.

He said: "You can see that he's tailor-made for the Premier League. Hopefully he's with us for a long time.”

The Foxes boss said his focus at the moment is on the game against Sunderland tomorrow - despite a good run of performances he said "it's still tight down there". 

He might also want to keep adding to his new Premier League record of four wins out of four in charge of the team.

He's not superstitions though - he confirmed he doesn't have any lucky underpants or socks that he wears for matches.

He does think "luck" is on his side though. He said if Jose Mourinho is "the special one" then he is "the lucky one".

A Derbyshire farmer has had eight rare cows stolen from his land at Youlgreave. 

Jonathan Hall, who also farms at Longnor, had around 100 cattle on his land and discovered the theft over the weekend.

He says the thieves knew what they were doing because they've taken the best eight cows from his shed.

Land agents Bagshaws LLP put out a plea to its followers on Facebook over the weekend. 

They said two other cows that had been taken were a pure Limousin cow and a black Limousin cow. 

Mr Hall told BBC Radio Derby: "They can't be replaced. Everybody wants that type of cow.

"Financially this is massive. You build up to produce something decent and somebody comes along and thinks they can take it just like that."

A spokeswoman from Derbyshire Constabulary confirmed they are investigating.

The new provider of non-emergency patient transport services in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland will be Thames Ambulance Service Limited.

The new service has been commissioned by the three Clinical Commissioning Groups and will take over from Arriva on 1 October 2017.

Strugglers Sunderland are the visitors tomorrow, a side who look doomed to relegation...

The Foxes on the other hand are flying. Shakespeare's 100% record remains in tact following the weekend win over Stoke. 

Expect the line of questioning to discuss the likelihood of City rising into the top half of the table and away from the relegation trapdoor.

A dead horse has been found dumped in a field in Manor Lane, Shelford.

The RSPCA said the female horse, who was not microchipped, was discovered by a member of the public last Sunday and had a deep wound on one of her legs.

RSPCA inspector Kristy Ludlam said they do not know if the horse was alive when dumped and they had not found any witnesses.

Insp Ludlam said: “It is very upsetting for passers-by and everyone involved when animal bodies are dumped so callously like this as if they were rubbish, but for us what is even more concerning is finding out what caused their deaths.

“Sadly situations such as this one are not uncommon and we see far too many incidents involving dead horses dumped in this way."

Leicester’s Hospitals claim bowel cancer is the third most common cancer in the UK and is the second largest cause of cancer deaths in the UK.

To try and increase awareness of the condition they've teamed up with De Montfort University and opened a shop in the Haymarket Shopping Centre... 

It opened today and will stay for just two weeks. 

Advisers there will target those aged over 55 - they can get a testing kit, an explanation of the procedures currently performed and healthy living tips.

If you haven't seen them yet you won't be able to miss them next week because they'll be joined by a giant inflatable colon to help get your attention.

A Wollaton GP has been struck off the medical register following a misconduct tribunal after he used abusive language towards his staff and patients between 2006 and 2012.

Dr Khashayar Ghaharian from the Wollaton Vale Health Centre, who has now retired, called his receptionist a "fat blob", swore at patients and also asked people to provide false statements to the tribunal investigation. 

The board said Dr Ghaharian’s conduct had "breached a number of the principles" that "did not meet the standards expected of a registered medical practitioner".

The practice closed earlier this year after local health officials decided not to replace him following his retirement.

Dr Ghaharian now has 28 days to appeal before facing immediate suspension.

If Leicester City's game against Stoke was anything to go by, then the Foxes really should have dispensed with the services of Claudio Ranieri much sooner. 

Central to this performance was Demarai Gray, who appears to be becoming a driving force behind the Leicester revival.

Gray produced two glorious saves from Stoke keeper Lee Grant and was a constant menace throughout the game.
