Leicester manager Rodgers unsure if Evans will make Man Utd clash

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers is waiting to see if Jonny Evans will be fit to face Manchester United on Tuesday.

The former United defender was forced to withdraw with a heel issue in the warm-up to that clash with Newcastle United last week.

"We've been managing him over the last couple of weeks and he's come through really well," said Rodgers.

"He was in a lot of pain [last Thursday] and woke up [on Friday] feeling better. In the warm-up, just as he was coming in before kick-off, he felt discomfort."
