Leicester City have been dealt a late injury blow on the eve of their crunch clash against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

Striker DJ Campbell, who has five goals to his name so far this season, has not even travelled with the squad and is definitely out of Saturday's game.

It is a hammer blow for manager Ian Holloway, who is already without a number of first-team regulars including Barry Hayles (suspended), Stephen Clemence (ankle/heel), Iain Hume (ankle) and Lee Hendrie (ineligible).

He said: "Unfortunately DJ said he felt something in his groin this morning so was unable to train which is very, very bad news for us.

"But that's just the way it is and we have to get on without him."

On a more positive note, Holloway confirmed that Matty Fryatt had shaken off a stomach virus and is "raring to go".

Young striker Billy McKay has been added to the squad - he has been handed the number 49 shirt.
