Duo braced for bows

Portuguese pair Miguel Vitor and Moreno look set to make their Leicester debuts against Macclesfield in the Carling Cup first round. Defender Vitor and midfielder Moreno were not involved on Saturday as the Foxes began their Championship campaign with a 3-2 defeat at Crystal Palace, where Paulo Sousa`s side were 3-0 behind after 41 minutes. Paul Gallacher was also absent at Selhurst Park due to a thigh problem but the forward is expected to play some part against the League Two club. "We decided it would have been too much of a risk to play Vitor and Gallagher (at Palace) but they have trained 100% and they will, perhaps, play half a game," said Sousa. Keeper Conrad Logan, defenders Tom Kennedy and Tom Parkes, midfielder Ritchie Wellens and striker Steve Howard are also available for recalls should Sousa wish to make further changes.
