Upson set for Leicester U21 comeback

Matthew Upson is set to turn out for Leicester City U21.

Upson is set to play in Leicester's U21s match against Benfica on Monday as he steps up his recovery from a serious ankle injury, says the Daily Mail.

The former England centre-back has been out since undergoing surgery in August but he has returned to training and is in line to make his return to action in the Premier League international Cup.

Upson, 35, has yet to feature for Leicester in the Premier League following his free transfer from Brighton and his return to the field is a huge boost to Nigel Pearson following a run of four successive defeats.
