Foxes wait on trio Leicester trio Richie Wellens, Neil Danns and Danny Drinkwater will all need to be assessed ahead of the npower Championship clash against Hull. Wellens suffered a calf injury during the 3-3 draw at Blackpool in midweek, while Drinkwater also had to be replaced in the second half. Danns was carrying a groin problem going into the meeting with the Seasiders and Pearson has described the situation regarding all three as "touch and go". It would create a considerable headache in midfield for the Foxes boss, who already has Paul Gallagher out with knee trouble and Andy King, Darius Vassell and Martyn Waghorn all recovering from various ailments. That means of the midfield quartet that started at Bloomfield Road, only Lloyd Dyer looks certain to start against the Tigers. German teenager Jeffery Schlupp, who made a late substitute appearance in midweek, will be hoping to capitalise on the injury crisis by making only his eighth start of the season. Hull will be without midfielder Robert Koren. Koren was withdrawn at half-time in the midweek home defeat to Southampton due to a hamstring strain and will play no part at the King Power Stadium. Manager Nick Barmby could switch winger Robbie Brady into a central role and bring in either Aaron Mclean or Cameron Stewart, who both started on the bench in midweek. Fellow midfielder Corry Evans suffered no reaction from the hamstring niggle that kept him out of the starting line-up on Tuesday night after replacing Paul McKenna midway through the second half and he is back in contention. Barmby has no new injury or suspension worries as his play-off chasers look to bounce back to winning ways after losing for the first time in 11 matches against the Saints.
