The Academy graduate, who scored his first senior Leicester City goal at Ipswich Town in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, took a ‘whack’ during that Portman Road contest, a 3-1 reverse.

Elsewhere, Conor Chaplin and Jayden Joseph both returned to action in Suffolk, meaning it’s likely to be an otherwise fit squad to chose from for Martin at his former club.

We tackle the Dons at Stadium MK in a 12:30pm kick-off on Saturday – out third Sky Bet League One outing of the new campaign.

“Bade is being regularly assessed this week,” the Manager told the media on Friday. “He took a bit of a whack.

“He played fantastically well [at Ipswich], really good. He has to be assessed ahead of tomorrow. Apart from that, I think we’re fully fit and raring to go.

“JJ’s back now, which is nice. Couli (Woyo Coulibaly) cramped up towards the end because he hasn’t played for a long time but did a great job for the team. I think we’re in a good place.

Joseph and Chaplin are in contention this weekend too, although with Plymouth Argyle and Oxford United visiting King Power Stadium across Tuesday and Saturday next week, considerations will have to be made on workload over the coming days.

“They’re both ready to start,” Martin added. “We have a three-game week, so we have to be conscious of that.

“We need to make it a really big, important week for us as a team. Whilst tomorrow’s game is the most important, it will always be, we also have to be aware of the physical demands and what will be placed on the guys this week.

“There might be some changes throughout the week, but everyone’s ready to go tomorrow.”
