Wellens waylaid for Leicester

Captain Richie Wellens and fellow midfielder Andy King are likely to miss Leicester's final game of the season against Leeds at Elland Road.

Wellens limped off after 22 minutes of the 2-1 home defeat to West Ham with a knee injury and King failed to re-emerge for the second half. Wellens left the King Power Stadium on Monday night on crutches while City boss Nigel Pearson fears that King may have suffered a recurrence of a foot injury. Centre-half Sol Bamba is likely to deputise in midfield with Sean St. Ledger partnering Wes Morgan at the heart of the back four. Martyn Waghorn made his long-awaited comeback as a second-half substitute against the Hammers after being sidelined since suffering a hamstring problem during a loan spell at Hull in October. He is likely to be involved again, as is fellow striker Darius Vassell who has also been missing since October due to a knee injury. Forward Paul Gallagher is likely to remain on compassionate leave.
