Luton manager Jones expects Justin to feature for Leicester

Luton Town manager Graeme Jones expects James Justin to make his Leicester City debut in their Carabao Cup clash.

Justin left Luton in the summer, signing a five-year-deal at the King Power Stadium having impressed last season, helping his side to Championship promotion and earning himself a spot in the League One team of the season.

Jones said; “That was the sad part of the job for me, coming in when you've got two really dominant full-backs – I saw Jack Stacey play on Friday and you see what he brings to the show, James Justin exactly the same.

"You come in and you haven't got those players available, which is disappointing, but I think what everyone needs to remember is what he did for the football club, what both of them did.

“But obviously James is coming back, how luck would have it.

"I expect him to make his debut tonight for Leicester, so you'd think we will give him a warm reception and then make it as difficult as we can for him, so I look forward to seeing him. I am aware of what James Justin can do, he was regarded as possibly our best player here – he hasn't played for Leicester yet, so it gives you an idea of the level."
