Leicester visit Stockport seeking response as Martin rules out Faes and Coulibaly | OneFootball

Leicester City visit Stockport County today seeking a response to last week's 4-0 defeat by Oxford United. Russell Martin's side are 18th in League One with five points from five.

City will be without Conor Chaplin, while John Lundstram and Caleb Okoli could feature and Warren O'Hora may debut after joining from Hibernian. Wout Faes and Woyo Coulibaly are not involved today. Martin said: "Wout's trained and so has Woyo. I think it's probably a bit early to put them back in the squad because they had four or five days of real uncertainty last week." He told LeicestershireLive.

Faes had a bid rejected by an unnamed side in mid-August, then a move to West Ham United collapsed on deadline day. Coulibaly stayed at Leicester after a late loan to Genoa reportedly fell through.

"Obviously the transfer window only shut last week. They're back training properly and they've trained really well. I think both can definitely play for us very, very soon."

Stockport have won three of their opening five, scoring the joint-most goals, 13. They put five past Wycombe Wanderers in their last home match after a 2-1 defeat to Blackpool. One of the season's early pace-setters awaits at Edgeley Park.
