A measure of how much DJ Campbell is back in the Leicester City fold is provided by this season's squad numbers.

At this time last year, when it appeared that the striker was on his way out of the Walkers Stadium, he was not given a number.

But now Campbell has scored five goals in five pre-season games and new manager Paulo Sousa has said he wants to keep him at the club.

Campbell has been given No.32 in the list issued by City yesterday.

Campbell was eventually allocated No.23 for his three appearances as a substitute last season.

Summer signing Miguel Vitor has been handed the No.5 shirt.

That was previously held by Aleksandar Tunchev, who switches to No.3 this season.

The other new arrival of the summer, Tom Kennedy, will wear No.18.

The defender was signed by previous manager Nigel Pearson before his switch to Hull.

The other significant-looking change for this season is that Paul Gallagher, who was No.24 last season, will be wearing the No.7 shirt this time.

Familiar strike pairing Matty Fryatt and Steve Howard will continue to be Nos.12 and 9 respectively.

There is good news for three members of the Academy.

Tom Parkes, Jorrin John and Jeff Schlupp have all made a good enough impression on Sousa to be given numbers.

The issuing of the numbers proves annual fun for fans trying to read how their side will line-up for the opening match.

There may be more clues in Saturday's final pre-season friendly against Sunderland.

But no-one will know for certain until Sousa names his side to face Crystal Palace in the Championship opener a week on Saturday.

Squad numbers: 1 Chris Weale, 2 Robbie Neilson, 3 Aleksandar Tunchev, 4 Michael Morrison, 5 Miguel Vitor, 7 Paul Gallagher, 8 Matt Oakley, 9 Steve Howard, 10 Andy King, 11 Lloyd Dyer, 12 Matty Fryatt, 13 Conrad Logan, 15 Bruno Berner, 16 Nicky Adams, 17 Dany N'Guessan, 18 Tom Kennedy, 19 Richie Wellens, 25 Jack Hobbs, 26 Tom Parkes, 27 Jorrin John, 28 Ashley Chambers, 30 Aman Verma, 31 Jeff Schlupp, 32 DJ Campbell.
