Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri is pondering the immediate future of hat-trick hero Joe Dodoo.

The Foxes produced a comfortable 4-1 victory over Bury in their Capital One Cup second round clash on Tuesday night and the star of the show was youth academy product Dodoo, who netted a treble on his professional debut for the club.

Ranieri was certainly pleased with Dodoo's performance and the Italian revealed that he is now deciding whether or not to send the young striker out on loan this season.

"I am very happy with him and he deserved to show his quality and he did a very good job," Ranieri said.

"Now is important to reflect and wait. We have some days to think about it and at the end if it is important for him to go out on loan he will go, but if I think he can help us he will rest."
