We are now halfway through October 2025, and Leicester City Football Club's progress has been stopped dead in its tracks. The National Team breaks will do that to you. In fairness, they also provide respite opportunity for those domestic sides who are struggling or desperately need a footballing rethink. Nevertheless, life goes on; the hiatus does offer a chance to see how the Foxes' personnel get on in other environments and with different or harder tests as well.
Although, we'd still prefer not to have a stop-start division like the Premier League. Irrespective of my views here (which only have LCFC's best interests at heart) we can now roundup the King Power's international news of the month. Not to mention taking a brief glance at City's young, up-and-coming ballers who are currently out on respective loans. Have any more Leicester loanees caught the eye, like Sammy Braybrooke at Newport County? Or, alternatively, are any on-loan professionals not living up to expectations? Let's have a quick look.
Leicester City internationals
Jannik Vestergaard and Denmark won their two fixtures on course for the World Cup. It's confirmed that Jordan Ayew and Abdul Fatawu's Ghana will attend the tournament.
"The Foxes midfielder opened the scoring for the Bengal Tigers against Hong Kong in Dhaka, curling a brilliant direct free-kick into the net from the left edge of the penalty area in just the 13th minute. Despite Hamza’s early strike, the hosts were ultimately beaten 4-3 in a thrilling contest."Lcfc.com
Hamza Choudhury netted for Bangladesh's as they were defeated by Hong Kong. Jordan James came on for Wales vs England; he started against Belgium. Bobby De Cordova-Reid scored for Jamaica vs Bermuda too.
Loans roundup for October
City have quite a few players who are temporarily with other outfits. Five of them featured in matches over the previous ten days or so.
First of all, Nathan Opoku and Braybrooke have been turning out for Newport together; with the latter drawing (potentially joking) comparisons to former Spain and Barcelona midfielder Xavi. While Opoku was eventually substituted in the win versus Accrington Stanley, his teammate played the entire 90 minutes.
Meanwhile Jayden Joseph started in Tranmere Rovers' loss to Barnet. Kian Pennant was a debutant for Gateshead in their Aveley victory. Goalkeeper Jake Donohue's adopted club, Quorn FC, drew with Corby Town.
