Assistant manager Mike Stowell has today confirmed that the Foxes are on the search for a striker after it was revealed that Matty Fryatt faces at least a further fortnight out with an ankle injury.
Fryatt picked up the knock following an innocuous incident during a training session at Belvoir Drive ahead of the Birmingham City clash.
And a scan has now revealed that the player faces at least a further two weeks on the sidelines.
But Stowell confirmed that manager Rob Kelly had been given the green light by the Board to seek a replacement on loan for the injured star, and that the wheels had already been set in motion.
He said: "We are actively looking to bring someone in.
"The Board are backing us, as they always do. That's encouraging.
"Rob (Kelly) is on the case and we have got a few irons in the fire, but obviously we are not going to reveal any names at this moment in time.
"We are constantly on the lookout for players to improve us and help us.
"New players coming in always give the whole squad a boost. We are a bit thin on the ground on the striker front and that is one area that is prime for us and one that we are looking at."
And on the Fryatt front, Stowell confirmed that inflammation around the ankle had slowed down the diagnosis process.
He added: "It has taken a while to get an assessment on Matty. He has had a fair bit of swelling from his injury and we have only just been able to get him scanned.
"It is looking as though he is going to be out for at least another two weeks. That's disappointing for us and disappointing for the lad.
"But he's keen and he is desperate to get fit. If he got back any sooner it would obviously be a big benefit for us, but at the moment it is looking like he will probably be out for at least another two weeks."
Stowell also revealed that midfielder Stephen Hughes had picked up a knock in training.
"Stephen has a slight thigh strain and that is just keeping him out of full training at the minute. He is still able to do a bit of work and he isn't far off."

Hopefully not as the whole article is based about getting someone in on loan, which would mean it's not Asaba! *Crosses fingers* And in an interview on LCWorld, RK said Asaba is still 2 weeks away from match fitness, (which I can't understand seeing as he's been training with us for over a fortnight) and we've already let Farelly go

Hopefully it'll be better than the last few loan signing's we've had i.e. Rufus Brevett, Andy Welsh, Elvis Hammond!
