Russell Martin has hinted at a possible change at right-back for Leicester City's League One clash against Doncaster after admitting Woyo Coulibaly has come into the frame for a starting spot.
Jayden Joseph has been City's first choice in the position this season and started five of the first six games. He has been out since before the draw against Barnsley last month and is expected to remain sidelined for the next few weeks.
Bade Aluko started against Barnsley and Peterborough United but was substituted at half-time in both fixtures. In last week's 3-1 defeat to Robbie Savage's side, the 19-year-old struggled and conceded the opening goal too easily.

Centre-back Caleb Okoli filled in at right-back during the second half and didn't look out of place. The position is up for grabs against Doncaster, with Martin challenging his players to make the spot their own while Joseph is out. "He [Joseph] was one of our best players, and no-one's really nailed that down since he left," he said. "Someone has to take the opportunity at some point and make it their own."

Woyo Coulibaly is another option for City after failing to secure a summer move away. The Malian has played just 45 minutes of league action this season, and Martin has hinted that he could be brought into the starting XI
"We have options, we also have centre-halves that can play there," he added. "Coulibaly, we trust, and if it's Bade again, he needs to react really positively to a disappointment week last week, the same way that so many of us do.
"I've got no doubt whoever it is, they'll be more than ready and Woyo definitely comes into the mix for that."
