Chaplin, Joseph, Stolarczyk: Leicester City injury latest and return dates | OneFootball

Leicester City hope to have two key players back as League One resumes after a prolonged international break. They sit 14th after seven games, with two wins and two defeats.

According to LeicesterMercury.co.uk, City face Stevenage in the Jersey Mike's Trophy on 6 October, then Peterborough United at the King Power on 10 October, followed by Doncaster Rovers and Bromley.

Conor Chaplin, the first summer signing in July, has managed only two appearances because of a recurring issue. He debuted in the 3-1 defeat to Ipswich Town late in August, then was forced off in the first half at MK Dons after being caught in a similar area to a pre-season problem. He has missed the last five games, and Russell Martin has hinted he is not far away, with Stevenage or Peterborough possible return dates.

Right-back Jayden Joseph had been ever-present in the league before a surprise absence from the draw at Barnsley last week. He suffered a hamstring issue the day before and is set to be out for a few weeks. He could be back for Peterborough on 10 October.

Goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk has sustained an ACL injury and is expected to miss the rest of the season, with Martin describing it as an innocuous knee incident. His return is anticipated at the end of the campaign.

Centre-back Ben Nelson also ruptured his ACL in pre-season and has been sidelined since surgery. Martin said it is a major blow, and he is likely out for the majority of the season, with a target of returning at the end.
