Abe in for injured Oakley

Leicester captain Matt Oakley is set to miss the home game with Watford. Oakley scored a fine goal during the 3-2 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Good Friday, but lasted just a few minutes of the second half before coming off with a groin injury. Japanese midfielder Yuki Abe replaced Oakley at the City Ground and could start in his place. Manager Sven-Goran Eriksson must decide whether to keep faith with goalkeeper Chris Weale after his howler handed Forest victory or recall his Portuguese number two Ricardo. Defender Sol Bamba faces a fortnight on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury during the defeat to Reading. Bamba and striker Martyn Waghorn, who also has a hamstring problem, are the only other absentees.
