Leicester City vs Arsenal - Marc Albrighton banned for Arsenal clash
Posted Wednesday, May 09, 2018 by PA
Leicester winger Marc Albrighton will miss the rest of the season after accepting an FA misconduct charge following his red card against Crystal Palace.
Albrighton was dismissed during the 5-0 Premier League defeat at Selhurst Park last month and, after his sending-off, reacted angrily towards referee Mike Dean. He will now miss the visit of Arsenal and the trip to Tottenham on Sunday.
Kasper Schmeichel (ankle), Shinji Okazaki (ankle), Wilfred Ndidi (hamstring), Danny Simpson (groin), Robert Huth (ankle) and Matty James (Achilles) are also out along with Ben Chilwell and Daniel Amartey. Vicente Iborra (hamstring) remains a doubt.
Arsenal will be without Mesut Ozil due to a back problem.
Manager Arsene Wenger confirmed on the eve of the clash that he does not expect Ozil to play again this season, while Laurent Koscielny (Achilles) is likely to be sidelined for six months.
Mohamed Elneny (ankle) is also out, as is Santi Cazorla – who has returned to training following an Achilles issue that has kept him out since October 2016.
