LEICESTER City striker David Nugent is rated as ‘touch and go’ to be fit to face his old club Burnley tomorrow.

Nugent has netted six goals in nine games against the Clarets since his loan spell at Turf Moor during the 2009/10 season but picked up a calf injury at the weekend.

That forced the former Preston striker to miss the Foxes 2-0 win over Swansea City last time out after the 29-year-old picked up the injury in the warm-up.

“Nuge will be touch and go,” said Leicester boss Nigel Pearson.

On Nugent’s scoring record against Burnley, Pearson added: “Nuge always reminds me of it. He’s got one or two he’s been particularly productive against on a personal level.

“Ultimately, team selection comes down to what’s right for the team, basically.

“We’ve got a heavy week coming up.”
