Sam Hughes and Bartosz Kapustka have been left out of Leicester City's updated Premier League squad despite the space to include one of them.

Centre-back Hughes, 22, and winger Kapustka, 23, are both too old to feature on the Under-21 list, so would have to have been registered if they were to feature in the Premier League in the second half of the season.

However, despite only filling 24 of the 25 available slots, neither of the players were included.

Hughes is back at City after a loan spell with Salford in League Two during the first half of the campaign, while Kapustka recently recovered from a serious knee ligament injury and has been featuring for the development squad.

Midfielder Matty James is back in the fold, though, after being named in the revised squad list.

James, who has not played a senior game for 13 months, was omitted for the first part of the season while he recovered from injury.

But after overcoming summer ankle surgery and having played three full matches for the club’s development squad since the turn of the year, he is now back in contention.

James is one of two new names on the list for City, with deadline-day loan recruit Ryan Bennett also included.

Three players drop off the list: Monaco loan duo Adrien Silva and Islam Slimani and Croatian defender Filip Benkovic, who moved to Bristol City on loan in the final hour of deadline day.

Right-back James Justin does not feature, as he is young enough to be on the Under-21 list.
