Ghana defender Daniel Amartey is likely to start for his club side Leicester City as they take on  Atletico Madrid at the King Power Stadium in their second-leg UEFA Champions League quarter final fixture.

 

With defender Robert Huth suspended and skipper Wes Morgan still a doubt, remains a doubt Daniel Amartey could  be drafted into the back line.

Atletico will feel confident that they have one foot in the final four after securing a 1-0 home win against the reigning Premier League champions last week, but as Leicester proved against Sevilla in the last round, they're a menacing prospect at the King Power Stadium.

For Atleti, the only African interest comes in the form of Thomas Partey, who comes into Tuesday's clash on the back of a mixed week.

The Ghana international delivered an outstanding performance in the weekend's 3-0 victory over Osasuna at the weekend, although his performance may be remembered for a missed penalty.

He completed four interceptions and made two tackles at the weekend, and looks most likely to be introduced in the second half as a destroyer if Atletico need to close off the contest late on.
