Team news ahead of trip to Brighton

Last updated : 28 October 2008 By Foxes First

The Foxes suffered no fresh injury or suspension problems in Saturday's goalless home draw against Northampton.

Paul Dickov resumed light training on Monday following a back injury but it will be at least another week before the veteran striker returns to contention.

On loan defender Kerrea Gilbert remains sidelined. The Arsenal youngster is still recovering from the hamstring injury that ruled him out against the Cobblers but there is a chance he could be fit in time for the visit of Bristol Rovers at the weekend.

Midfielders James Wesolowski (fractured ankle) and Stephen Clemence (heel) and strikers Ashley Chambers (broken leg) and DJ Campbell (groin) remain unavailable.

Brighton look set to be without goalkeeper Michel Kuipers.

The former Dutch marine suffered a thigh injury during Saturday's defeat at Hartlepool and is a major doubt.

Boss Micky Adams is scouring the loan market for a replacement, otherwise rookie John Sullivan may have to be pitched in for his debut.

Adams is also trying to bring in a striker with Glenn Murray (thigh) and Nicky Forster (knee) still sidelined.

Robbie Savage did not react well to being substituted at Hartlepool and the on-loan Derby midfielder could be left out of the game against his former club.

Doug Loft is back following a knee injury but Gary Hart and Kerry Mayo (both knee) are still missing.
