Leicester City boss Claude Puel admits Robert Huth is having a tough time this season.

Huth is back in training but unlikely to be involved against old club Stoke City this weekend after a frustrating few months on a personal level.

Puel said: “It is not time to discuss this.

“With Robert he has not had a lot of game time at this moment. It is difficult for him but there is good competition between the defenders and we will see at the end of the season what happens."

Huth is 33 now and has been trying to build match fitness with run outs for Leicester's under-23s side, as well as the under-21s in the Checkatrade Trophy.
