Leicester City keeper Kasper Schmeichel faces a race to be fit to face Manchester United on Sunday.
The Denmark international missed his first league game since signing for City just over three seasons ago at Stoke on Saturday.
Schmeichel picked up a knee injury on international duty but City had hoped he would recover in time for the trip to the Britannia Stadium.
However, manager Nigel Pearson decided not to risk Schmeichel and handed a league debut to Ben Hamer, who produced a couple of vital saves as City held on for their first win and first clean sheet of the season.
Schmeichel will be monitored throughout the week before Pearson makes a decision on who will face United's star-studded strike-force, but said if Schmeichel does not make it he had every confidence in Hamer.
"We were hopeful Kasper might make the game but I would rather miss a player for one game than take risks and lose him for longer," he said.
"He may be available, but we will have to see how he progresses throughout the week.
"I thought Ben handled the occasion exceptionally well when you remember he is replacing a player who is one of our top performers over the last three years.
"There will be aspects of his performances he would like to improve but he made some key saves for us in the second half.
"The fact the players didn't look too flustered reflects the faith they have in his ability. That is always important.
"If you are going to do well you need players to perform when you are called upon."
Matty James steps up his comeback from a shin injury tonight as he is set to feature in the under-21s against Fulham at the King Power Stadium.
New signings Nick Powell and Tom Lawrence, who joined on transfer deadline day from United, will also be in action.
