Foxes wait on injured six

Leicester City boss Rob Kelly looks set to be without six first-team regulars for Saturday's Championship clash with Crystal Palace.
The Foxes were already down to the bare bones for Tuesday's midweek victory over Leeds United and during the clash at Elland Road, midfielder Gareth Williams picked up an ankle injury.
Williams has joined Matty Fryatt, Paddy McCarthy, James Wesolowski, Andy Johnson and Darren Kenton on the sidelines, leaving Kelly short of options as he prepares his side for the visit of the Eagles.
"Normally, I would like to have my team for the weekend in my mind at this point, but at the moment we are not in the position to do that," he told the club's official website.
"But it is the same for everyone else. We don't play for a couple of weeks and then we play every third day so we knew this was going to happen. We will manage as best we can."
Meanwhile, Kelly has confirmed that veteran striker Carl Asaba will remain at the club on a non-contract basis.
