Kasper Schmeichel available for Leicester City selection following injury layoff

Nigel Pearson reveals that Kasper Schmeichel could be involved against Hull City this weekend, although Dean Hammond and Anthony Knockaert have been ruled out.

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has revealed that Kasper Schmeichel is available for selection this weekend following his three-month injury layoff.

The 28-year-old has been absent since the beginning of December with a broken foot, which was only initially due to rule him out of action for a six-week period.

The Dane has had to watch on from the stands as his side have struggled to pick up points at the bottom of the Premier League table, although he will be back among the matchday squad for the visit of Hull City on Saturday afternoon.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference ahead of the game, Pearson also revealed that Anthony Knockaert will miss out due to family reasons, while Dean Hammond is back in training but still not ready to make a return to competitive action.

Leicester are currently seven points from safety at the foot of the table, with just 10 games of the season left to play.
