Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is confident they can cover for the absence of James Justin after his ACL injury.
Luke Thomas or Christian Fuchs could play in a straight swap, or Rodgers could switch formations.
Thomas is the currently the likeliest option, and Rodgers has said the teenager "has never let us down".
“It would have been great to have them all fit which would have allowed us to have a bit more flexibility," Rodgers said.
“However, Luke Thomas, for a young player, when he's come in he's never let us down at all. Fuchsy, when asked upon earlier in the season, he played in some big games and we got really good results.
“There is a bit of flexibility and that's what we've tried to build here in terms of being able to play out of different systems. Hopefully we'll get Timothy back soon and that will give us another option."
