Leicester are hoping for Morgan’s return for the match against Atletico

REUTERS – Leicester City captain Wes Morgan has “progressed well” and could recover from a back injury in time for Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Atletico Madrid, the manager said on Monday Craig Shakespeare. Morgan has been sidelined with a nerve problem in his back for over a month and the decision will be made on Tuesday morning. “I have to see if there’s any reaction from today (Monday’s training session),” Shakespeare told reporters. “I’m very happy with the way he’s progressed over the last three days, but the final decision will be made tomorrow morning. “I would like to hear from the player, but my eyes tell me today that we should both be fair. happy with how it went.” Leicester must overturn a 1-0 deficit at the King Power Stadium after Atletico forward Antoine Griezmann’s disputed penalty gave the Spanish side a narrow lead last week. Shakespeare said his players need to be on the street and find “We have to be careful about being smart and the game management has to be good,” added Shakespeare. “We know what we have to do and we can do it.” I don’t stay 90 minutes because we have to score.” Midfielder Andy King and defender Yohan Benalouane, who both picked up injuries during Leicester’s 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace on Saturday, have returned to training and will be available to feature.
