Duo missing for Foxes

25 October 2010 13:00
Curtis Davies and captain Matt Oakley will miss Leicester`s Carling Cup fourth-round tie against midlands rivals West Brom. Defender Davies limped off with a hamstring strain midway through the second half of the Championship defeat at Swansea on Saturday. It is hoped the centre-half, on loan from Aston Villa, will not be out for long and he could even come back into the reckoning for the league visit of Preston at the weekend. Oakley, however, could be set for a month on the sidelines after the midfielder suffered a thigh strain against the Swans. Michael Morrison is likely to replace Davies while Julio Moreno, Yuki Abe and Paul Gallacher, should he recover from the back problem that ruled him out of the trip to south Wales, are Sven-Goran Eriksson`s options to replace Oakley.
