Brighton's Leandro Trossard a doubt for Leicester City clash after latest injury with Belgium

Belgium stated on Twitter that Trossard will miss both internationals and Sky Sports reported it was due to a groin problem, although there has been no official confirmation as to the nature of the latest injury.
It's a blow for Brighton as he made two match-winning performances from the bench against Everton and Norwich and started his first match since the end August during Albion's 3-1 loss at Manchester United.
Trossard is the second Brighton player to be ruled out during the international break as striker Aaron Connolly withdrew from the Republic of Ireland's European Qualifier against Denmark with groin injury picked up at Old Trafford.

Alzate
Elsewhere, Albion midfielder Steven Alzate made his senior Colombia debut in a 1-0 win over Peru on Friday night. The 21-year-old was a 73rd-minute substitute for Juan Cuadrado during the friendly, which took place in Miami. Alzate and the rest of the Colombia squad will now prepare for a second friendly match against Ecuador this coming Tuesday.
Ryan and Mooy
Maty Ryan and Aaron Mooy were both in action for Australia as they played out a hard-fought 1-0 victory away in Jordan. Ryan helped the Socceroos to the win with a fantastic save in the latter stages of the game.
Cochrane
Albion youngster Alex Cochrane played the last ten minutes for England under-20s in a 4-0 win away Portugal. Cochrane will hope for more game time as England face Iceland under-21s at Wycombe on Tuesday.
