Leicester City boss Dean Smith admits he has a couple of injury doubts for Monday evening’s trip to St James’ Park, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Kelechi Iheanacho potentially set to miss out depending on how they respond to the weekend’s training.
Smith said at his Thursday press conference that forward Iheanacho had been put ‘on fast-forward’ to try and accelerate his recovery given the parlous position his side are in towards the bottom of the table.
Leicester sit second-bottom and desperately need to get something against Newcastle United and in their final-day clash at home to West Ham to save themselves from the drop to the Championship.
