Leading scorer David Nugent is a doubt for Leicester ahead of Blackburn's stop by at the King Power Stadium. Nugent hurt his neck within a challenge with Blackpool defender Craig Cathcart during Saturday's goalless draw at Bloomfield Road as well as the 14-goal striker will undergo a late fitness test. On-loan Tottenham striker Harry Kane impressed on his debut against the Tangerines and that he will make his home bow for the Foxes on Tuesday. Matty James missed out in the weekend which has a knock plus the midfielder seems like being absent once more.
Blackburn manager Michael Appleton must cope with a thriving injury list in front of the clash. Colin Kazim-Richards will miss the match sustained an ankle injury during Saturday's goalless draw against Leeds and the forward is awaiting the outcomes of an scan amid fears he may very well be sidelined for just two to a few months. Midfielder Lee Williamson (ankle) and defender Martin Olsson (eye) also recently started lengthy spells within the sidelines, while Dickson Etuhu is predicted to miss all of those other season resulting from medial knee ligament damage.
Another serious knee-injury victim, Leon Best, continued his rehabilitation having a goal for Rovers' reserves on Monday afternoon and, although Tuesday's trip to the King Power Stadium comes too early with the Republic of Ireland international, he may be considered when Peterborough visit Ewood Park on Saturday. Fabio Nunes (hamstring) is with the same boat as well as, while fellow winger Josh King (hamstring), midfielder David Dunn (calf) and goalkeeper Paul Robinson (back) all remain sidelined.
