Leicester City manager Claude Puel says he doesn’t know how much longer he will be without injured duo Matty James and Robert Huth.
James has been missing since injuring his Achilles heel in the home defeat to Chelsea at the start of September, while Huth has not played this season after undergoing surgery on his ankle in the summer.

Both have been able to train individually but not with the rest of the squad, but Puel says there is no return date pencilled in.

However, Puel will have Christian Fuchs back after the defender missed Tuesday’s win over Tottenham because his wife had given birth to his daughter.

“We have no new injuries,” he said. “Christian Fuchs comes back into the squad. Robert Huth and Matty James are unavailable.

“I don't know when they can come back. After the injury they are dying to come back and to make a lot of training sessions and come back with us. I cannot know long it can take.”
