Russell Martin has made this bold decision on two Foxes stars, revealing that they will leave the club and explaining why he made that decision.

Leicester City will be without two experienced first-team players for today’s fixture, with both currently out of contention as they consider their futures at the club.

The decision comes amid growing interest from other clubs, with Leicester head coach Russell Martin confirming that the pair are unlikely to feature while their transfer situations continue to develop.

Stephy Mavididi and Wout Faes have both been left out of the squad as Leicester assess potential moves before the transfer window closes.

Their absence is expected to fuel further speculation over their futures, particularly with clubs understood to be monitoring their availability.

Speaking about the situation, Martin suggested that neither player is expected to remain at the King Power Stadium for much longer, although no final agreements have been confirmed at this stage.

The Leicester boss said both players will “probably” leave before the end of the window, indicating that significant changes could still take place within his squad over the coming weeks.

Mavididi has been an important attacking option for Leicester, while Faes has played a key role in defence since joining the club.

Their potential departures would therefore leave Martin with important decisions to make regarding replacements.

For now, Leicester will have to prepare for today’s match without the two players, while negotiations and interest from elsewhere continue behind the scenes.

With the transfer deadline approaching, supporters will be watching closely to see whether both players remain at the club or complete moves elsewhere before the window shuts.
