Wesolowski Makes Comeback In Academy Win
James Wesolowski took another major step on his road to recovery when he played the final 25 minutes of City's 3-2 under 18 victory at Watford on Saturday.
The 18-year-old Australian midfielder broke his leg during a pre-season friendly against Celtic in July when it looked like a place in the first team squad was on the cards for the youngster.
But after intensive work in the treatment room Wesolowski is now back on the pitch again - albeit for the Academy side at the time being.
Goals from Louis Dodds, Levi Porter and Scott Lycett sealed the points for the Foxes on the day, who had gone into the game looking to banish any memories of last month's FA Youth Cup defeat at the hands of Huddersfield.
Academy Director Jon Rudkin said: "James' comeback capped a great day for us. At times we played some of the best football of the season to date and it was pleasing to see the lads bounce back after their cup defeat.
"Louis Dodds has hit a fantastic volley from around 20 yards to give us the lead. It really was an outstanding goal.
"Watford then got a goal back, before Levi gave us the lead going into the break with a close range finish.
"We knew Watford would be physical and they muscled their way back to 2-2, but after the introduction of Wesolowski we managed to grab the winner from a set piece - Scott Lycett getting on the end of an Ashley Chambers corner."
City: Pentley, Magunda, Lycett, Norval, Franklin (Mattock), Gradel, King, Wykes (Chambers), Muggleton (Wesolowski), Porter, Dodds.
