AdminRussell Martin has provided an update on the fitness of his Leicester City squad ahead of their next league fixture, with positive news surrounding Jayden Joseph and Conor Chaplin.
The Leicester manager was able to confirm that Joseph is available for selection after recovering from a knock suffered during the recent meeting with Notts County.
The young forward came through the setback without any major concerns and is now expected to be in contention as Martin prepares his side for another important league test.
Martin confirmed that Joseph is ‘good to go’ despite taking a knock at Notts County, giving the Foxes a welcome boost ahead of the weekend.
There is also encouraging news regarding Conor Chaplin, who has returned to training after his recent absence.
However, Martin admits there is still a decision to be made over whether the forward is ready to feature.
Chaplin’s return gives Martin another attacking option, but the Leicester boss will not rush the player back before he is fully prepared to contribute.
Martin says he has a ‘tough decision’ to make over whether Chaplin is ready to be included in the squad.
With Leicester looking to build momentum under Martin, having key players available will be important as the season progresses.
The manager will now assess Chaplin’s condition before making his final decision, while Joseph appears ready to play his part after successfully recovering from the knock.
