“Leicester City in CRISIS: THREE Star Players Facing SHOCKING Injuries Ahead of EPIC Hull Showdown!”

Bobby De Cordova-Reid is unlikely to feature for Leicester City in Tuesday night’s clash against Hull City after sustaining a hamstring injury.

The attacking midfielder tweaked the muscle during his substitute appearance in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Portsmouth but remained on the pitch until full time as City had no substitutions left.

Manager Marti Cifuentes later revealed that De Cordova-Reid was unable to sprint during the final 15 minutes, indicating he is highly doubtful for the trip to the MKM Stadium.

Stephy Mavididi is also a concern, having missed the last two games with a hamstring problem suffered before the international break.

The winger had yet to return to full training by the end of last week, and if he is involved against Hull, it would likely be from the bench rather than as a starter.

Meanwhile, defender Harry Souttar remains sidelined as he continues recovery from an Achilles injury sustained last December, with no set date for his return to training.

Should both De Cordova-Reid and Mavididi be ruled out, Leicester will have an open spot in their travelling squad.

Ben Nelson and Victor Kristiansen, who have been absent from recent matchday squads, are among the options to be recalled.

If Cifuentes opts for an attacking reinforcement instead, he may turn to the club’s Under-21s.

Young striker Jake Evans, 17, has been in excellent form for the development side, netting five goals in his last five matches.

Louis Page, who made three senior appearances in August, could also be drafted back into the first-team fold.

However, the Under-21s are scheduled to face Robbie Savage’s Forest Green Rovers on Tuesday in the National League Cup.

Having already lost to Braintree and Wealdstone in their opening group games, the team is effectively out of the competition — a situation that may allow one or two youngsters to be called up to the senior squad.
