McFarlane went down holding his leg after the Jersey Mike's Trophy game with Stevenage and has been managed since. Martin confirmed that he would be ready for the weekend and did not mention any fresh concerns in his press conference.

"Christian took a whack, so he wasn't available, but I think he will be available on Saturday," Martin told LeicestershireLivepitchside at Bromley."

The defender isn't set to return to action any time soon for Leicester, with Martin last insisting that he would miss a "few weeks".

Potential return date: Walsall (H), Tuesday, November 10

Jakub Stolarczyk

The goalkeeper's ACL injury was confirmed, with him set to miss the rest of the season.

"Not good. I feel so disappointed for the big guy," the City boss said. "He’ll be out for the season. It was a really innocuous one on his knee.

"The only silver lining is that him and Ben [Nelson] will get to do their rehab together, they’re in very similar situations."

Expected return date: End of the season

Ben Nelson

The centre-back suffered an ACL injury in pre-season and has been sidelined since having surgery. "Really disappointing with Ben," Martin said. "It's really sad for him and us. He’ll be out for the majority of the season. He ruptured his ACL.

"He requires surgery next week. So now our job with Ben, who's an outstanding young player and young man, is to support him through that and to make sure he still feels part of it."

He added: "I'm really disappointed because he's a huge asset to this football club, on and off the pitch. We will miss him for sure. It's probably the only negative that we've had in pre-season and it's a big one."

Expected return date: End of the season
