​Leicester coach Puel sweating on Maguire, Vardy fitness

Leicester City manager Claude Puel is anxiously awaiting news about Harry Maguire and Jamie Vardy ahead of the new season.

Both players returned later than others in the squad due to World Cup commitments with England.

But there is a chance they could be in the squad for the first game of the season tomorrow against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

"We will see, I think Harry and Jamie are ready in their mind, but I don't know if they're ready in their body and their fitness level," Puel said in his press conference.

"We have another training session this afternoon and then we will make decisions about the squad."
