Leicester City host Oxford United in League One at the King Power Stadium, four days after claiming their first league win of the season, a 2-0 defeat of Plymouth Argyle sealed in first-half injury time by Will Alves and Harry Howell.
Russell Martin said: "He’s still here, there's a lot of windows still open, I couldn't tell you exactly which ones, but Jon [Rudkin] and James [McCarron] went through them this morning." BBC Radio Leicester carried the interview. "I really feel for Wout, it's a really difficult position because he's a really good football player, but he's been an amazing human being in the building."
City could include four deadline-day arrivals in the matchday squad, with Emil Riis, John Lundstram, Kamari Doyle and Warren O'Hora all arriving on deadline day. League One rules allow only seven substitutes, so Martin must navigate some tight selection calls.
Martin has confirmed goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk will miss the rest of the season after a serious knee injury against Plymouth. He was hurt inside the first minute and stretchered off in the sixth, and the manager called it an innocuous incident, adding that his rehab will run alongside Ben Nelson's.
Defender Jayden Joseph has signed a new four-year deal to keep him at the club until 2030 after an impressive start to the season. He said he was delighted to commit, that an offer from a club of this size was hard to refuse, and that he is excited to continue and be part of the project.
