Leicester City manager Claude Puel is happy for Filip Benkovic to see out the season with Celtic.

Puel said he wants Benkovic to see out his loan in Scotland before returning to City to play a more prominent role next season.

“If we don't have any problems with injuries for example, I would like my players on loan to continue their progress, to continue to develop, to take confidence and develop consistency," said Puel.

“For me it's the right way for them and for us.

“I want players who are ready to play next season. It's a fantastic opportunity for Benkovic to play and come back with strength and good quality for us."
