Leicester boss Puel open to recalling Barnes from West Brom

Leicester City boss Claude Puel has opened the door to recalling Harvey Barnes from his loan at West Brom in January.

The 20-year-old joined the Baggies on a season-long loan and has been tearing up the Championship with three goals and two assists from his eight league games so far.

“We will see," said Puel, when asked if he might recall Barnes again. “Of course I follow Barnes, I follow Filip Benkovic (on loan at Celtic) and everyone on loan. It is important to look at their performance. We will see what happens in January.

“Harvey had some game-time last season. It was interesting. He came back in January with us. At the beginning of the season, he was not ready to remain with us.

“He wanted game-time to play and didn't have the good focus with us. We will see in January and at the end of the season."
