Leicester City injury news ahead of Nottingham Forest FA Cup tie

Nottingham Forest will be back in action at the City Ground when they take on local rivals Leicester City in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday (4pm kick-off).

The Reds overcame Premier League opposition Arsenal last time out to set up a tie with current holders Leicester.

The Foxes will look to continue their defence of the trophy they won for the first time last season, having seen off Watford in the previous round.

With that in mind, NottinghamshireLive brings you the latest from the treatment room at the King Power Stadium as per LeicestershireLive...

Jonny Evans

Injury: Hamstring

Having undergone an operation, Brendan Rodgers confirmed he will be back in action in April.

Ricardo Pereira

Injury: Fractured leg

The Portuguese is targeting a return against Forest after suffering a fractured leg in the League Cup defeat against Liverpool back in September.

What Rodgers said: "That's so frustrating for him with how hard he has worked. For the referee not to see that, it's a fractured fibula and he's lucky it's not worse."

Wesley Fofana

Injury: Fractured leg & ligament damage

The Frenchman had to undergo surgery after suffering a bad tackle in the last pre-season friendly against Villarreal.

He is set to miss the action at the City Ground as his possible return date is February.

What Rodgers has said : "We're hoping at some point in February, it's just trying to be careful with Wesley, we can't be rushing him."

Timothy Castagne

Injury: Dead leg

The full-back is recovering from a dead leg after having to undergo surgery.

Castagne will also miss on this weekend as he tries to recover for the league match against Arsenal on March 13.

What Rodgers has said : “Timothy has had an operation so he is probably eight to nine weeks (out)."

Ryan Bertrand

Injury: Knee

The Southampton-born defender is a long way away from returning to action after suffering a twisted knee and will undergo surgery next week.
