Claude Puel has admitted he doesn’t know what his starting line-up will be at Fulham on Wednesday as several of his players are injury concerns.

Puel would only confirm striker Jamie Vardy is struggling again with a persistent groin problem, but refused to name who the other players were as he plays his cards close to his chest ahead of the trip to Craven Cottage.

City captain Wes Morgan was seen limping after Saturday’s 2-0 win over Watford, while fellow centre-back Jonny Evans came off late on during the win over the Hornets, which could mean a chance for Turkey centre back Caglar Soyuncu, with Harry Maguire still on the comeback trail after his knee injury.

Vardy will be a big concern as he picked up the groin problem before the international break and was only named as a substitute at Brighton, before playing back-to-back games in five days against Southampton and then Watford.

Vardy had surgery on his groin in 2016 and picked up another problem during the World Cup last summer, and Puel admitted he didn’t know whether surgery would be required again.

“I don’t know my starting team because I have problems with different players,” said Puel.

“I cannot say the player with the problem but I cannot know my starting players in two days.

“We will see. I don’t know.

“He (Vardy) felt something and we will discuss with the medical staff.

“I don’t know (if he needs surgery). It is a balance to know his feeling.

“Tomorrow will be another day. It will be for Jamie and other players to see how they feel.

“I don’t know who will be available for this important game.

“Other players must be ready in their minds to play and replace another team-mate.”
