Leicester City defensive duo Patrick Kisnorbo and Joe Mattock made a successful comeback from injury in the Foxes' 3-0 reserve team victory over Rushden and Diamonds at Nene Park on Tuesday afternoon.

Kisnorbo had been out of action since April with a knee injury, while Mattock had been missing since the end of August with an ankle problem.

But both players came through their return match successfully - Mattock lasting 45 minutes and Kisnorbo being replaced on the hour mark.

City goalscorers on the day were Billy McKay, Eric Odhiambo and Robbie Burns.

Speaking after the game, reserve team manager Gerry Taggart said: "It was great to see both Paddy and Joe back in action. It has been a long road back for them, especially for Skip, and to get back on the park is fantastic for both them and the club.

"We were originally due to play Notts County at our training ground, but they pulled out and we therefore had to arrange another match at short notice.

"Rushden have been fantastic hosts and we have to thank them for coming to the rescue and letting us use their superb stadium at such short notice.

"It was a decent game played at a good tempo. These games are great for our youngsters and they will certainly come away from here having learnt something today."

City: Pentney, Magunda, Garner, Kisnorbo, Mattock, Odhiambo, Cox, Beswick, Porter, McKay, Sappleton.

Quality. We really do have an embarrassment of riches at the back.

3 left backs that are all solid at this level and then 4 centre halves that are keen as mustard.

Just the one right back though, which is probably for the best given the numbers everywhere else!

Defenders don't excite me, especially when we have them in abundance and the best goals against without them. :dunno:

Well, we could argue that Kisnorbo is known for the odd goal or two and Mattock going forward is better than Powell. So a little more exciting surely? :D

Unless we ship 2 or 3 in a game or concede on successive occasions, I wouldn't bring either back in to the first 11.

But they will. Biggish value players when they're fit and active.
