Newport 2 Leicester 1......gotta be good news re Barnes's potential recall? More probable if they'd gone through I'd think

Possibly. Or will how inept their reserves are tempt them to recall anyway as covers for injury?

The other worry could be that Puel could get sacked and the new man might want everyone to pick from.

I think it would be a stupid move by Leicester if they do recall him though. I don't think he's ready for the Premier League yet and there's no way he will be able to play in the free role for Leicester, as they demand a defensive shift from everyone. For us, he has had the tendency to go missing for 85 minutes then have a 5 minute spell where he can do something spectacular. I don't think they are in the position to afford such a luxury in the Premier League. Most importantly, he's learning here, physically and mentally. We're going to be pushing for promotion, so it's vital experience for him that he's not going to get warming their bench. Obviously he's a massively important player for us and the weight of that can only be good for his development.

But we'll wait and see. I don't think recalling would benefit Leicester at all long term, but I can understand fans putting pressure on given some of the goals he has scored. Fans calling for him could tempt the powers that be.
