Leicester City winger Demarai Gray is recovering well following his ankle injury but will still miss the Premier League match against Everton.

Gray was ruled out for between three to six weeks after he went over on his ankle late in the Carabao Cup victory at Wolves last week.

The 22-year-old had to be stretchered from the pitch with his leg in a brace and having been given oxygen, but initial scans showed the injury was not as bad first feared.

And City boss Claude Puel gave further encouraging news on Gray’s recovery while he also confirmed that midfielder Matty James was also unavailable for the Premier League clash at the King Power Stadium this weekend.

“James is not available and not match fit,” said Puel. “Demarai Gray also, but he has improved. I think in a few days he will start running.”

Gray’s injury came just after he received his first call-up to the senior England squad for the friendly against Switzerland in September.

James is yet to feature for City this season after undergoing surgery on his Achilles over the summer and then suffering another minor setback.
