Huddersfield v Leicester. Match preview

Last updated : 04 October 2008 By Foxes First

But veteran striker Andy Booth has not responded to treatment for a long-standing back problem and is expected to visit a specialist next week.

Lucketti has missed the last two matches due to a groin problem, while striker Cadamarteri has been sidelined for most of this month with a hamstring injury.

Both players returned to full training this week, but are not expected to feature. Jon Worthington will continue as skipper.

Keigan Parker is pushing for a recall to the starting line-up with two goals for the reserves in midweek, but manager Stan Ternent is not expected to make changes after last week's draw at leaders Oldham.

Leicester manager Nigel Pearson has received a blow ahead of the game with the news Paul Dickov will be out for approximately five weeks.

The veteran striker has undergone surgery on a back problem, and is set for a frustrating spell on the sidelines.

Defenders Joe Mattock and Patrick Kisnorbo featured for the reserves in midweek following their respective ankle and knee injuries, but the game at the Galpharm Stadium is expected to come too soon for both men.

DJ Campbell is set to miss out with a groin problem, while fellow forward Ashley Chambers remains sidelined with a leg injury.

Experienced midfielder Stephen Clemence is also unavailable as he continues his recovery from ankle surgery.
