Jamie Vardy came back this morning with the squad. I think he will be available for the game. Harry Maguire was in the squad for the last game. “Ben Chilwell felt a pain in his knee, we’ll make a decision tomorrow. It is not serious. Matty James has improved. He has a good feeling about his fitness.”
Puel on the January transfer window: “I cannot speak about any player. We have a lot of games to play in a short time. We want to perform and we will see in January. “It’s a good opportunity to reduce a little more the squad and keep all the time the players a positive attitude. It’s a good thing to find a good balance for the squad.” Claude Puel keeps it short but sweet when asked about a potential new contract for captain Wes Morgan.
“It’s not time to speak about this.”
Puel on Palace defeat last season: “It was a bad day for us. It’s another season, another game and itwill not be a revenge for us. It’s important to keep the right concentrationabout this game and out play because we need to move on another step in ourplay.” On whether ninth place is good enough: “I think the mostimportant thing is to have an objective at the start of the season. Now is themiddle of the season – I think the most important thing is to keep ourconcentration. In our last game we didn’t take enough points.”
