Soccer-Leicester's Premier League trip to Everton postponed due to depleted squad


(Reuters) - Leicester City's Premier League match at Everton on Tuesday has been postponed because they have a depleted squad due to COVID-19 cases, injuries and players on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations, the league announced on Sunday.

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers had hinted that the club could ask for a postponement after fielding just eight senior players in Saturday's 4-1 FA Cup victory over Watford.
