Ayoze Perez is battling to be fit for Leicester City in time for the season restart.

Perez has scored seven goals and had four top-flight assists to help Leicester to third.

But he was an omission on Saturday as two Leicester XIs drew 1-1 at the King Power Stadium in a practise match behind closed doors.

The Mirror says Perez has also been told to take it easy this week and is unlikely to train.

Leicester return to competitive action a week on Saturday at Watford in the Premier League.
