Leicester City winger Harvey Barnes will be assessed by the club’s medical team ahead of their clash with Liverpool on Boxing Day.
Barnes injured his ankle during the 3-1 defeat to Manchester City on Saturday after he was clattered by Ederson.
As quoted on Leicester’s official website, Brendan Rodgers said:
He’s been getting treatment in the last couple of days.
Hopefully, he should be able to be back in training tomorrow. [It’s] his ankle.
Barnes provided a wonderful assist for Jamie Vardy’s goal at the Etihad.
READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
The news comes as a positive for the Reds because Barnes is one of Leicester’s most dangerous players, as he showed on Saturday.
He’s not fully been ruled out yet but the fact that he’s doubtful is a welcome boost for Jurgen Klopp’s side.
Anything besides a defeat at the King Power Stadium would be seen as a positive for Liverpool.
