Albrighton not perturbed as Leicester get set for Bury

Marc Albrighton has no problems in featuring during the midweek Capital One Cup clash against minnows Bury.

Leicester square off against the League One outfit in the second round of the league cup on Tuesday night and Claudio Ranieri is expected to rest a host of his first team regulars for the clash.

Albrighton is one of the many players expected to be given a rest but the winger has stated that he would not have any problems featuring on the night.

"I am happy to play in all types of games. If he (Ranieri) decides he wants to go with the same team then brilliant, but if he decides he is going to rest me and a few others then we will respect that," he said.

"Either way it will be a tough game because they will be up for it. It will be there cup final, but we are looking forward to it as much as the league games. I have been to Wembley but never played there and it would be a dream come true for me. It is a goal.

"A lot of people dismiss the cups these days but unfairly so. We need to take pride in the domestic cups and the club's history in this competition. The chance to play at Wembley is there and it is a good opportunity for us to get it on our CV."
