West Bromwich Albion are fearful that Leicester City could recall Harvey Barnes, after his impressive start at the Hawthorns.
West Brom are fearful that Leicester will recall the attacker from his loan spell at the Hawthorns, due to his brilliant form.
Barnes has made himself one of the most feared players in the Championship since joining Albion, and Leicester have been tracking his progress closely.
The Foxes are now set to communicate with West Brom by Saturday whether they have planning to recall the England youth international.
West Brom are confident that he will be allowed to stay, but plans are being drawn up over potential replacements.
Barnes is reportedly keen to stay with West Brom as he knows he will get first-team football there.
Back at Leicester Barnes would have to prove himself at Claude Puel, and with the Foxes already having a range of attacking options, he could be forced to play a rotational role.
Barnes apparently feels his development is better served by getting regular game time, and West Brom should be encouraged by the attacker midfielder’s stance.
