AdminLeicester City have confirmed their starting line-up for today’s pre-season fixture in Spain, with Russell Martin continuing to assess his squad ahead of the new campaign.
Alex McCarthy is handed the gloves from the start, while Caleb Aluko captains the side. Wout Faes and Harry Souttar are paired in central defence, with Ali also included in the back line.
Young midfielder Carr is given another opportunity to impress alongside Jake Evans, while Hamza Choudhury provides experience in the middle of the park.
Further forward, Neale and Hutchinson are both rewarded with starting places as Martin looks to build match sharpness across the squad.
Summer signing Conor Chaplin also starts and will be hoping to make an impact after linking up with his new teammates during the training camp in Spain.
There is plenty of depth available on the bench should changes be required during the match.
Jakub Stolarczyk and Gaëtan Vieites provide the goalkeeping options, while Ben Nelson, Caleb Okoli, Luke Thomas and Oliver Skipp are among the senior players waiting for their chance.
Louis Page, Braybrooke, Stephy Mavididi, Will Alves and Otchere also feature among the substitutes, giving Martin the opportunity to hand valuable minutes to a mixture of experienced first-team players and promising academy graduates.
The fixture forms another important step in Leicester City’s preparations as they continue their pre-season programme in Spain ahead of the competitive campaign.
