Oakley in line for Foxes recall

Leicester City, 15:49, November 27, 2009 ,

Leicester skipper Matt Oakley returns from suspension to hand boss Nigel Pearson a virtually full-strength squad to face Scunthorpe.

Andy King scored the goal that lifted the Foxes to third in the Championship table as Leicester saw off Plymouth 1-0, but King may be the man who makes way following Oakley's return after a one-match suspension.
Long-term absentees Aleksandar Tunchev (knee) and Stephen Clemence (heel) are both ruled out, while striker DJ Campbell has departed the club and joined Derby County on loan.
Pearson is delighted to have options to chose from and believes competition for places in the Foxes starting line-up is a massive benefit ahead of the trip to Glandford Park.
He said: "This kind of selection dilemma is a welcome one. I'd always rather have the full squad to choose from. It presents a different challenge.
"I don't see it as a problem. It is nice to have selection issues, it keeps people guessing."
