Leicester v Tranmere. Early preview

Last updated : 23 August 2008 By Foxes First

With no injuries after the draw with Stockport, Joe Mattock, Stephen Clemence (both ankle), and Patrick Kisnorbo (knee) remain sidelined.

Tranmere boss Ronnie Moore will check on the fitness of his son Ian for the trip to Leicester.

The much-travelled 31-year-old striker has been struck by a viral infection, but Rovers have no other concerns.


Tranmere manager Ronnie Moore told BBC Radio Merseyside:

"I think he [Leicester boss Nigel Pearson] has got a nice squad of players there, a bit of experience, a bit of youth, a bit of pace so it'll be a big tester for us.

"Stability is probably one of the big things that they haven't had and I think Nigel will be hoping now that, that happens.

"He has a good squad of players and I think that at this level they're not going to be too far away."
