THE second half of Leicester’s Premier League clash with Chelsea was delayed due to a freak injury.
The match was all set to restart on time before it emerged the linesman Mark Scholes had suffered an injury.

And the injury prompted referee Andy Madley to call on the services of the fourth official Leigh Doughty.
Doughty, thankfully, was warmed up and ready to jump in on short notice, which he did before the restart.
Despite being injured, Scholes wasn’t completely pulled off duty.
The lino ended up swapping roles with Doughty, taking over fourth official duties for the remainder of the match.
It’s currently unknown what injury Scholes suffered.
But it’s seemingly not that severe if he’s been able to swap gigs with colleague Doughty.
Chelsea went into the second half at the King Power leading 1-0.
A neat finish from Nicholas Jackson in the 15th minute put Enzo Maresca’s troops ahead in the Italian’s return to the Midlands club.
