Few options for Foxes

Fri, 27 Jan 10:52:01 2012

Leicester are light on numbers ahead of the visit of Swindon in the FA Cup.

The Foxes are waiting to discover the extent of Paul Gallagher's latest back problem. The Scot had to be substituted just before half-time during the 2-0 Championship victory at Southampton on Monday night.

Gallagher suffered with the injury earlier this season and boss Nigel Pearson is waiting to see what the damage is this time around.

He joins fellow midfielders Andy King (foot), Matt Oakley and Franck Moussa in the treatment room, while Michael Johnson is not fit enough for action and recent signing Danny Drinkwater is cup-tied.

Full-back Liam Moore has also played in the competition for another club this season during his loan spell at Bradford and Aston Villa have not granted permission for striker Nathan Delfouneso to play in the fourth-round tie.

Defenders Sol Bamba and John Pantsil are still away at the African Nations Cup with Ivory Coast and Ghana respectively and strikers Darius Vassell (knee), Jeffery Schlupp (knee) and Martyn Waghorn (hamstring) are injured.
