"Jamie trained this morning okay," Shakespeare told the club's website on Monday (www.lcfc.com). "He was a bit sore yesterday, but he was okay to train today.

"He is okay and will be involved tomorrow. At what length, we will have to wait and see. I plan to make changes."

Shakespeare also said midfielder Nampalys Mendy, who sustained an ankle injury in March, could play at Bramall Lane.

Defenders Robert Huth (ankle) and Wes Morgan (back), midfielders Danny Drinkwater (thigh)and Vicente Iborra (groin) and forward Kelechi Iheanacho (toe) have been ruled out of Tuesday's match as they recover from their respective injuries.

Leicester travel to Manchester United in their next league match on Saturday.
