Duo set for debuts

10 September 2010 09:30
Martyn Waghorn and Yuki Abe are in contention to make their debuts for Leicester against rivals Coventry in the Championship`s lunchtime kick-off. Waghorn had a hugely successful loan spell at the Walkers Stadium last season, scoring 12 goals in 43 appearances as the Foxes reached the play-offs, and he has now joined the club on a permanent basis as a replacement for DJ Campbell who has completed a permanent switch to Blackpool. Japan international midfielder Abe also joined Leicester during the two-week international break from Urawa Red Diamonds. Further good news for boss Paulo Sousa is that Chris Weale should be in contention for a starting place. The goalkeeper has been out since suffering a shoulder injury in the defeat at Burnley on August 21.
