Foxes striker facing six weeks out

Leicester striker Paul Dickov could be on the sidelines for six weeks after being forced to undergo a back operation.

Dickov is out of the Huddersfield clash this weekend after it emerged the former Manchester City forward would need surgery to sort out the problem.

Elsewhere, defenders Joe Mattock and Patrick Kisnorbo both featured for the reserves in midweek after recovering from ankle and knee injuries but it's thought they will not be risked against the Terriers.

DJ Campbell is still out with a groin problem, while Ashley Chambers remains on the injured list with a leg injury and midfielder Stephen Clemence continues to recover from his ankle operation.
