Jordan James: Leicester City top scorer out for at least a month

Leicester City midfielder Jordan James will be out for at least month after suffering a hamstring injury in their midweek draw at Wrexham.

The Wales international has scored four times in his last six games for the Foxes and nine goals overall this season.

He had to go off after 41 minutes at the Racecourse Ground and Leicester have also lost Oliver Skipp for Saturday’s home game against Oxford United following a clash of heads.

“Unfortunately, neither of them will be available for the next game,” head coach Marti Cifuentes told BBC Radio Leicester.

“JJ suffered a hamstring injury that will take him out for some weeks and the medical team is working with Skippy but he will definitely not be ready for this game.

“They are both doing really well and when we analyse the second-half performance (at Wrexham), that was definitely a big part of it, the fact that we lose two important players in the midfield.”

Asked whether three or four weeks was a likely period out for James, Cifuentes replied “perhaps slightly more”.

Leicester are 14th in the Championship, five points adrift of the play-off places.
