Leicester City start their FA Cup campaign with a trip to non-league outfit Oxford City

Team news from Seagrave

Oxford City and Leicester City meet for the first time in the FA Cup on Friday night

Leicester City have no fresh injury concerns ahead of Friday night's FA Cup first-round clash against non-league Oxford City.

Russell Martin confirmed on Thursday that he has the same players available as he did for last weekend's draw against Stevenage. The only absentees are Jakub Stolarczyk, Ben Nelson and Jayden Joseph.

However, the Foxes boss revealed that illness has affected some members of the squad this week, while others could be left out because of the artificial surface at Oxford.

"I think we also have to be realistic," he said. "There's probably a couple of players that can't be involved because of their injury record and playing on a different surface. Not many, just one or two, so we'll have to be conscious of that. In terms of injuries, no [new ones].

"We had a couple of lads who were struggling with illness early on in the week, but hopefully they'll be fine and they've all trained."
