Leicester City: Jamie Vardy, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall & Ricardo Pereira could miss West Brom game
- Published
Leicester City's Jamie Vardy, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Ricardo Pereira are all doubts for Saturday's crucial Championship match against West Brom.
Foxes leading scorer Vardy took a knock during the week and all three players will be assessed before kick-off.
Defender Pereira is also injured, while midfielder Dewsbury-Hall has struggled with illness this week.
"There is still 24 hours, so will see if we can have some of them back," said Leicester boss Enzo Maresca.
When asked about how costly having the trio out could be, the Italian added: "It is very significant."
Ex-England striker Vardy, 37, has scored 16 goals in all competitions in a season that has been interrupted by injury.
Dewsbury-Hall, meanwhile, has produced 13 assists to go with his 12 league goals in a campaign that has attracted the attention of a number of transfer suitors, with Arsenal, Tottenham and Brighton reportedly interested in the 25-year-old., external
Pereira, 30, has featured 42 times for Leicester this season and played a major role in their promotion bid after two injury-hit campaigns with the East Midlands club.
"I don't think Ricky has struggled this year, he has played more minutes than the last three years," Maresca said.
"This year he has been fantastic in the way he has played with us and his physicality also.
"It is normal with this amount of games that you can have some problems. We will see for tomorrow."
Leicester, who are looking to make an immediate return to the Premier League following last season's relegation, are second in the Championship and one point adrift of leaders Ipswich Town.
The Foxes have four games of the campaign left, but also have a match in hand on the Tractor Boys and Leeds United, who are one point behind Leicester in third.
Leicester will be looking to make it three consecutive wins at home on their return to the King Power Stadium on Saturday after losing back-to-back games on the road against relegation-threatened Millwall and Plymouth Argyle.
