Midfielder set for Foxes return

Leicester are set to be boosted by the return to fitness of midfielder Matt Oakley as they prepare for Saturday's trip to Cheltenham.

Oakley was ruled out of the 3-2 Carling Cup second round defeat at Fulham on Wednesday, but he has been back in training in the latter part of the week and should be able to line up in boss Nigel Pearson's starting XI at Whaddon Road.

The Foxes have no fresh injury problems so highly-rated full-back Joe Mattock, who was the subject of failed bids from two mystery clubs this week, is still out with the ankle ligament damage he suffered against Stockport earlier this month.

Midfielder Stephen Clemence remains out with ankle trouble, while defender Patrick Kisnorbo is still recovering from the knee ligament damage he suffered at the end of last season.
