What’s the latest Atletico Madrid news?
Diego Simeone saw his team snatch a late draw against Real Madrid’s in a La Liga derby-day at the weekend thanks to star turn Antoine Griezmann’s late leveller.
Simeone has some injury concerns, with keeper Miguel Moya, defender Sime Vrsaljko, midfielders Nico Gaitan, Tiago all expected to miss out.
While Augusto Fernandez and striker Kevin Gameiro are also not expected to be fit in time for Wednesday.
What's the latest Leicester City news?
Craig Shakespeare confirmed a massive blow to the Foxes' chances with the news that skipper Wes Morgan is out of their historic clash with a back injury.
Shakespeare rested five players in the 4-2 defeat to Everton, exposing their defensive frailties, and they will be even more threadbare now - and without their talisman leader.
Nampalys Mendy is out long term, while Wilfred Ndidi's groin complaint is not expected to heal in time to make the first leg.
