However, speaking ahead of the Foxes final game of the season against Tottenham Hotspurs, Claude Puel disclosed that the Ghanaian suffered a relapse in a reserve game hence will sit out of the match against the Lily-Whites on Sunday.

“I think we will see for [Kasper] Schmeichel but I think it will be difficult for [him],” Puel said in his team news at a press conference on Friday.

“Not available [through injury] are [Robert] Huth, [Daniel] Amartey, [Ben] Chilwell, [Matty] James, [Wilfred] Ndidi and [Shinji] Okazaki, and [the suspended Marc] Albrighton is another thing.

“We will see tomorrow with [Aleksandar ] Dragovic and [Danny] Simpson."

[Adrien] Silva seems okay, which is good news. I think [Fousseni] Diabaté is okay also.”

Amartey made just eight league appearances for the Foxes.
