Keeper Scott Loach is a doubt ahead of Saturday’s trip to Leicester due to the thigh injury he suffered in the Suffolk Premier Cup tie at Walsham-le-Willows on Tuesday evening. The former Watford man was replaced by young Norwegian keeper Michael Crowe close to the end of the reserves’ 5-1 victory at Summer Road.
The 24-year-old, who has been on the bench for the first team since Stephen Henderson joined on loan from West Ham, is suffering with a dead leg and will be assessed before the squad is confirmed for the game at the King Power Stadium.
Town will be without midfielder Richie Wellens, whose loan from the Foxes was up after last week’s 2-1 victory over Burnley, while Lee Martin will be back after his one-match ban having reached five bookings.
Meanwhile, academy second-year scholar Jonny Leddy is in action for Ireland's U18s in a friendly in Switzerland this afternoon with a stream available here (KO 5pm). The Swiss won the first of the two friendlies 1-0 on Tuesday.
