Chris Basham wore the captain’s armband against a strong Leicester side including Jamie Vardy, Youri Tielemans and Timothy Castagne while Berge and Bogle enjoyed some much-needed game time. Berge damaged knee ligaments in defeat to Queens Park Rangers back in October and made his return with a cameo off the bench in victory over Huddersfield Town at the weekend.

Bogle, meanwhile, had to go back under the knife again after it was revealed that some of the metalwork used in his initial knee operation was causing him some discomfort.
