- Leicester City manager Claude Puel says the defender has recovered quickly in the past week
- Evans missed last weekend's visit of Southampton to King Power Stadium

The Northern Ireland defender missed last weekend’s defeat by Southampton at King Power Stadium with a broken little toe, but has made a speedy recovery at Belvoir Drive.

City head to Molineux Stadium for a Premier League encounter with Nuno Espírito Santo’s side in Saturday's early kick-off.

“Evans can come back in the squad, it was not a serious injury,” Puel said on Thursday, during his weekly pre-match press conference on Filbert Way.

“He will be in the squad on Saturday. Of course, I am happy when a player can come back in the squad.”
