Antonio injury setback ends hopes of Leicester deal

Leicester City's potential deal with Michail Antonio will not be going ahead following further injuries, Foxes boss Marti Cifuentes has confirmed.

The former West Ham forward began training with the Championship side in December as he makes his comeback from a serious car crash that left his femur broken in four places.

However, the 35-year-old has sustained another injury that has left a move unfeasible for the Foxes, who are targeting a striker in the January transfer window.

"Michail got a setback in the training. It's a small injury. It's a pity. That probably means that we will not be able to continue the process we started," Cifuentes told BBC Radio Leicester.

"The window is open. We're going to try to see what other options are available."
