​Leicester boosted with return of keeper Schmeichel

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has returned to training with Leicester City after breaking his hand in November and could be available for Saturday's game at Stoke City.

The 30 year old Denmark international injured his right hand during the goalless draw with FC Copenhagen in the Champions League on 2 November but finished the game.

Leicester have won just two of their eight league and cup games since.

"Kasper trained very well today," said Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri on Thursday.

"I will check on him tomorrow [Friday]. He feels good. The hand is OK."
