​Evans hasn't reached Leicester fitness standards - Puel

Leicester City boss Claude Puel does not believe that Jonny Evans is ready to feature for the team just yet.

Evans, who joined Leicester from West Brom in the summer, was an unused substitute during the opening day defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

And it does not seem that he will be ready for the second game of the season against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

"He came back on the last game on the bench," Puel said of Evans to Leicestershire Live.

"He was available, but of course we have different levels of fitness. We have to manage this."
