12 players could miss Leicester City’s EFL Trophy trip to Stevenage as international star back

Leicester City manager Russell Martin could be without up to 12 players for their EFL Trophy clash against Stevenage at Broadhall Way. A victory would secure Leicester's place in the knockout stages following their opening 6-1 win over Fulham Under-21s. However, squad rotation and availability will be heavily impacted by injuries and recent international duties.

Australia international Harry Souttar could return to the lineup, while Conor Chaplin is hoping to feature after being sidelined since late August. Meanwhile, Jakub Stolarczyk, Ben Nelson, and Jayden Joseph remain out injured, Ilari Kangasniemi is away on international duty, and several players face uncertain involvement following recent international fixtures.
