Leicester boss Smith doesn't doubt Tielemans commitment

Leicester City boss Dean Smith says he's happy to call on Youri Tielemans.

The Belgium midfielder will leave Leicester this summer when his contract expires.

Smith said, “He's available for selection. He hasn't done a lot of minutes in training, so we'll have to assess whether he's ready to start or to come on as a sub. He'll play a big part.

"I look at the likes of him and Jonny (Evans), and I think they give the team calmness.

"They give them experience and give them quality as well, so they're going to be very important."
