Leicester City are sweating on the fitness of Jonny Evans ahead of Saturday's FA Cup Final showdown with Chelsea.
The centre-back was forced off in the defeat to Newcastle earlier in the month with a heel problem and has since sat out the following two games.
He is being assessed and boss Brendan Rodgers admits he will give Evans every chance to prove his fitness ahead of Saturday's final at Wembley.
Rodgers said: "We're giving him another day, he has progressed really well in the last 24 hours. He looked very good and we'll see what the reaction is after that and make the final decision tomorrow.
"It's just a discussion between myself and Jonny, you always have to speak to the players and Jonny is a warrior. If there is any way he can play - even if he is not 100 per cent - he will be out there.
"It's going to be a physical game so we need good physicality and running ability, if that's hindered in any way it may make it difficult for him."
Cengiz Under has been nursing a hip problem while Harvey Barnes and James Justin (knee) remain out along with Wes Morgan (back).
Leicester City predicted XI (3-5-2): Schmeichel; Evans, Fofana, Soyuncu; Pereira, Ndidi, Tielemans, Castagne; Maddison; Vardy, Iheanacho
Leicester provisional squad: Schmeichel, Ward, Jakupovic, Fuchs, Soyuncu, Pereira, Evans, Daley-Campbell, Castagne, Thomas, Choudhury, Tavares, Ndidi, Tielemans, Maddison, Mendy, Amartey, Praet, Perez, Albrighton, Vardy, Iheanacho.
