This is a great time to take a look at one potential angle ahead of the Stoke City game. The East Midlands outfit will welcome the Staffordshire side to King Power Stadium this coming weekend. There could be new, or kind of new, faces amongst the matchday squad versus the Potters. That's because City have suffered a few injuries and have allowed some personnel to travel with various levels of international teams.

On Saturday, Leicester's Blue Army fan base should look out for youth stars such as Kevon Gray and Bade Aluko on the bench. The youthful pair of Foxes might perhaps be included with first team substitutes as the duo look to impress head coach Marti Cifuentes. They were recently cited for possible, respective promotions from the development squads.

Meanwhile a famous LCFC title-winner has been appointed as an English Football League manager. This player was another favourite of the faithful due to his personality, performances and general bright spark around the training ground and club years ago in general. But who is the retired pro in question? And which outfit has he taken over?

Kevon Gray and Bade Aluko eye roles

According to Leicester Mercury reporter Jordan Blackwell, a couple of Foxes could be promoted for the Stoke Clash. I'll let the journalist expand on his theory:

"Bade Aluko could be included in a Championship squad for the first time this season as defensive cover across the back-line.

The City development squad captain has been away with England Under-20s during the international break, playing the final 12 minutes as they drew 1-1 with Japan... Other contenders to be included would be highly-rated centre-back Kevon Gray, who has been a regular for City Under-21s this season."

Ex-Leicester City left back Christian Fuchs installed as manager of Newport County

Everyone at Foxes of Leicester fondly remembers Fuchs. He was, of course, one of two main full backs in the 'Incredibles' team from 2015/16; Danny Simpson was his opposing team-mate.

Fuchs has joined Newport in South Wales on a 'long-term contract'. He previously worked in Major League Soccer as Charlotte FC's assistant coach. We wish him well - yet the Exiles are only two leagues below LCFC at the moment!
