(Reuters) - Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and forward Shinji Okazaki are both doubtful for Thursday's Premier League match against Southampton after the duo sustained injuries in last weekend's defeat by Burnley, manager Claude Puel has said.

Japan international Okazaki was substituted with an ankle problem at half-time in the 2-1 defeat at Turf Moor while Schmeichel was withdrawn in the closing minutes after a collision with Burnley striker Ashley Barnes.
