Leicester vs. Atletico Madrid: Team News, Preview, Live Stream, TV Info for UCL

Leicester City will hope home advantage counts when they host Atletico Madrid at the King Power Stadium in their UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg on Tuesday night.

The Foxes trail 1-0 after the first leg but will know they were unfortunate in the Spanish capital. Atleti won, but only after Antoine Griezmann forced and scored a hotly disputed penalty following a challenge by Marc Albrighton that appeared to take place outside the box.

Still, Atletico are old hands in the Champions League, having made two finals in the last three seasons. Griezmann and Co. have the knowhow and skill to claim a priceless away goal on English soil.

Leicester's big issues are in defence, where manager Craig Shakespeare is lacking healthy centre-backs. The situation wasn't helped when Younes Benalouane was withdrawn during Saturday's 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace in the Premier League, per Sami Mokbel of the Daily Mail.

However, Rob Tanner of the Leicester Mercury provided a positive update on the player:

Tanner's note about skipper Wes Morgan returning to training is significant, as Leicester need the 33-year-old's brawn and experience against Griezmann's shrewd movement off the ball.

Yet James Sharpe of the Leicester Mercury has wondered whether it is worth risking a key defender who has been struggling to overcome a back problem: "The type of injury it is, a nerve problem, has meant that Morgan has been unable to train for most of that month, and has only just started to get out on the grass let alone train with his team-mates."

However, risking Morgan is a gamble Shakespeare may have to take, as fellow central defender Robert Huth is set to miss out through suspension. A threadbare back four against Griezmann would be a recipe for disaster for Leicester.

Griezmann's cause may be helped by the return of fellow French forward Kevin Gameiro. The former Sevilla ace has returned to training, according to Atleti's official Twitter account:

Gameiro has the pace to catch out a Foxes team needing to chase a goal on the break.

Leicester have the right formula for winning in Europe, namely a solid defence and terrific pace on the counter. However, Atleti know the same formula well and are masters of protecting a lead.

The Foxes' fitness woes in defence should tip the scales toward Los Rojiblancos, with Griezmann a good bet to again prove decisive.
