AdminLeicester City manager Russell Martin has hinted that Wout Faes and Woyo Coulibaly could soon return to contention for the first team, providing a potential boost to his defensive options.
The futures of both players have been the subject of attention in recent weeks, particularly after they were included in Leicester City’s final EFL squad despite being made available for a possible departure during the transfer window.
Faes, in particular, has attracted plenty of discussion among supporters, with questions continuing to surround his position under Martin and whether he remains part of the manager’s long-term plans at the King Power Stadium.
However, Martin has now suggested that the Belgian defender and Coulibaly may not be out of the picture for much longer.
Asked about Faes’ situation today. #LCFC, Martin indicated that both players could be considered again “very, very soon”.
The comments could signal a change in circumstances for the pair, especially as Leicester look to find greater consistency following a difficult start to their League One campaign.
Martin will be hoping that experienced players such as Faes can provide greater stability as Leicester attempt to climb the table and respond to growing pressure surrounding their early-season performances.
For supporters, the possibility of seeing Faes and Coulibaly return to the matchday plans will certainly be an intriguing development in the weeks ahead.
