Leicester City travel to Wembley Stadium to take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League tomorrow.

Marc Albrighton of Leicester City signs new contract  on January 17, 2019 in Leicester, England.

Leicester have been dealt a blow ahead of their clash with Tottenham tomorrow afternoon, with Football.London reporting that Marc Albrighton will miss the game with a hamstring injury.

The 29-year-old has been in fine form for the Foxes this season, chalking up three goals and four assists in 27 appearances in all competitions.

Spurs have injury problems of their own, with Dele Alli and Harry Kane both still unavailable for selection, so Leicester being without one of their key men will undoubtedly be a boost for the north London outfit.

Football.London suggest that Albrighton, who missed last weekend’s clash with Manchester United, has not recovered in time, and will not be fit to face Tottenham.

Leicester really have blown hot and cold this season, wining games against the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City, whilst losing to some of the teams in and around them in the table.

Tottenham will have to be on their very best form to beat the Foxes tomorrow, but their task of doing just that will be made a whole lot easier with Albrighton having been ruled out through injury.
