(Reuters) - Defender Michael Keane missed Everton's 2-0 loss to Leicester City in the Premier League after being hospitalised with a leg infection, the Merseyside club's interim manager David Unsworth has said.

England international Keane sustained a gash during Everton's League Cup win over Sunderland last month and went on to play in six games, including both of England's World Cup qualifiers, before the wound became infected and spread.
