(Reuters) - Leicester City defender Danny Simpson will miss Saturday's Premier League game against Liverpool and is expected to be sidelined for several weeks due to a hamstring injury, manager Claude Puel has said.

Simpson limped off during Leicester's 2-2 draw with Manchester United last weekend and missed Tuesday's 2-1 league defeat at Watford, with Aleksandar Dragovic used as a right-back at Vicarage Road.

"It's a hamstring injury and he will not be available for a few weeks," Puel was quoted as saying by the Leicester Mercury.
