Elder Scores As Wigan Shock Bournemouth
- Four Leicester City stars continue to impress while out on loan from the Club this season
- Callum Elder struck for Wigan Athletic in a 3-0 Emirates FA Cup success over AFC Bournemouth
- Defender Elliott Moore remains a regular figure in OH Leuven sides in Belgium's second tier
- Nampalys Mendy and Bartosz Kapustka also appear regularly in France and Germany respectively
The 22-year-old defender has made 15 appearances for the Latics after joining Paul Cook’s third tier leaders last summer and added his maiden strike in a 3-0 Third Round replay success at DW Stadium.
While Elder will hope to notch up another appearance against Plymouth Argyle this weekend, the 2013 FA Cup winners will tackle Premier League outfit West Ham United in the Fourth Round.
Meanwhile, Academy product Harvey Barnes has appeared for both the Club’s senior and Under-23s sides since returning from Barnsley earlier this month.
City’s 2016/17 Development Squad Player of the Season found the net five times for the second tier Tykes, most recently at Carrow Road verses Norwich City during a 1-1 draw in November.
Harvey Barnes Keen To Kick-On After Recall
Midfielder Harvey Barnes spoke to LCFC TV following his first start for the Foxes at Fleetwood.
The 20-year-old marked his return with a full debut in the FA Cup against Fleetwood Town at Highbury Stadium before also representing the Development Squad at West Ham United and Oldham Athletic.
Elliott Moore, on the other hand, has continued to play a pivotal role for Nigel Pearson’s OH Leuven in the Proximus League.
On the back of a 3-1 success over Union St-Gilloise at OHL’s King Power at Den Dreef Stadium last time out, Pearson’s men currently sit in third-place in the Belgian second division.
Moore Enjoying Loan Spell
LCFC TV made a recent trip to Belgium to catch up with Foxes youngster Elliott Moore, currently on loan at OH Leuven.
Since the league split into its second phase over Christmas, Moore, 20, has featured in all eight fixtures, of which OHL have won and drawn three apiece and lost just two.
Moore will once again be in contention for the Whites against Tubize on Sunday afternoon.
Polish youngster Bartosz Kapustka, meanwhile, made his eighth appearance for Freiburg in the Bundesliga during a 1-1 draw with Frankfurt at their Waldstadion venue last Saturday.

Freiburg are set to entertain RB Leipzig, who sit second in the German top division, to Schwarzwald-Stadion this weekend.
Finally, Nampalys Mendy also featured for Nice in a 1-1 draw at Lille on Wednesday evening, leaving them sixth in the French Ligue 1 standings.
They welcome St-Etienne to Allianz Riviera on Sunday, hoping to go level with Nantes in fifth place.
