Leicester are planning talks with Aston Villa regarding the future of on-loan striker Nathan Delfouneso.
Delfouneso's month-long deal with the Foxes is set to end following the npower Championship clash against midlands rivals Derby at Pride Park on Thursday evening.
The 21-year-old has been restricted to just four substitute appearances during his time with Leicester due to the form of Jermaine Beckford and David Nugent.
"He might be disappointed with the game-time he has got, and Villa might too, but he has to realise the front two of Jermaine Beckford and David Nugent have been doing very well and we are reluctant to change it," said Foxes assistant manager Craig Shakespeare.
"We will speak to Villa in the next few days to see where they want to go with it."
