Leicester boss Smith admits Justin frustration

Leicester City boss Dean Smith admits there's frustration knowing he can't select James Justin.

The fullback has recovered from an Achilles injury, but hasn't been registered for the Premier League.

“He (Justin) is training with the group," Smith said. “I've told the doctors to keep him away from me, because it's one of those things where it's 'This is what you could have had!'

“He's a good player and he's been really good and bright in the sessions so far. It's nice to have him around the group.

“Yeah, possibly (he would have been match fit by the end of the season), but he's not in the Premier League squad so he can't make it."
