JONNY EVANS NEWS

Signs one-year deal with Red Devils Evans, who had been with Manchester United on a short-term deal, signed a one-year contract with the club Friday.

Impact Evans trained with the club and participated in the preseason while on his short-term deal but will now be able to officially compete for the Red Devils in Premier League action. With Raphael Varane (undisclosed) expected to be sidelined long-term, Evans could push for a spot in the starting XI, though is more likely to serve as a depth piece.

Signs short-term deal Evans agreed to terms on a short-term contract with Manchester United on Tuesday.

Impact Evans' new deal will allow him to participate in the Red Devils upcoming preseason program. A product of the Man U academy, Evans continues to evaluate his options following his departure from Leicester City following the expiration of his contract. If he impresses during the preseason, perhaps Evans can convince manager Erik ten Hag to sign him to a season-long contract.

Contract discussions ongoing Evans and Leicester City are working toward a contract extension, the club announced Monday.

Impact Evans will be out of contract at the end of June but seems willing to discuss remaining with the club despite its relegation to the Championship. In his 13 matches (12 starts) this season, Evans recorded 49 clearances, 18 interceptions and 13 tackles.

Expected to play Sunday Evans (cramp) is set to be available versus West Ham United on Sunday. Manager Dean Smith told reporters, "Jonny Evans is fine."

Impact Evans was forced off in the 63rd minute versus Newcastle on Monday with what was classified as a cramp and appears to be no worse for the wear. Barring any setbacks, Evans should be in contention for a spot in the starting XI after having featured in each of the previous two contests.

Subbed off because of cramp Evans felt his hamstring early in the second half Monday, but it eventually was labeled as a cramp by manager Dean Smith.

Impact It's a positive sign for Evans, who has started the last two matches for Leicester after being out due to injury since about October. Assuming it truly wasn't an injury and he trains this week, he should be back in the starting XI for Sunday's finale, as he's given the Leicester back line a bit of a boost the last couple matches, namely in this draw at Newcastle.

Forced off holding hamstring Evans (hamstring) was forced off holding his hamstring during Monday's match against Newcastle.

Impact Evans was making his first start since October and his first appearance since a bench cameo in March. The center-back made it 66 minutes before being forced off with the hamstring injury. With only one Premier League match left Evans faces a race against time before Sunday's clash with West Ham.

Impact Evans has been dealing with several different injury problems since October, making just one appearance since. Even when he returns, it does not seem likely that the defender will be an option to start Wout Faes and Harry Souttar the established center backs thus far.

Remains unavailable Evans (calf) will not be in the squad to face Everton on Monday.

Impact Evans has logged just one minute off the bench in the club's last 24 Premier League contests primarily due to injury. At this point, even once Evans is cleared to play he could struggle to reclaim a place in the starting XI given his extended absence.

Expected to resume training Saturday Evans (calf) is slated to return to training ahead of Monday's matchup with Everton. Manager Dean Smith told reporters, "Jonny, we're hoping to have train tomorrow. He hasn't train...

Impact Considering Evans hasn't featured in the starting XI since Oct. 8 versus Bournemouth, and has made just one brief cameo during that stretch, he probably shouldn't be expected to immediately jump back into the starting XI even if he does make the squad versus Everton on Monday.

Out with illness Evans will miss Saturday's clash against Wolverhampton due to a viral infection, Leicester manager Dean Smith said Thursday.

Impact Evans has been limited to just one Premier League appearance off the bench since early October due to a litany of injuries, and he's only even made Leicester's match day squad twice in 2023. His absence Saturday will not have a big effect on the team versus Wolves.

APRIL 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back on bench against Bournemouth Evans (hamstring) was an unused substitute in Saturday's defeat against Bournemouth.

Impact Evans was in Leicester's squad Saturday for just the third time since early October due to multiple injuries this season. If he can stay fit, he will likely continue as a backup center-back behind Wout Faes and Harry Souttar.

APRIL 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in training Evans (hamstring) has been training with the group this week and could be in the squad Saturday against Bournemouth, according to caretaker manager Adam Sadler.

Impact Evans isn't as important to the back line as prior seasons and a good reason for that is a lack of health. He's been in just two squads since October because of injury and is expected to be on the bench behind Wout Faes and Harry Souttar even when fit and healthy.

Absence continues Evans (undisclosed) will not be available to face Aston Villa on Tuesday.

Impact Evans has logged just one minute off the bench in the club's last 19 Premier League contests. At this point, the central defender should probably be considered out indefinitely with no clear timeline for his return to the pitch. Still, prior to getting hurt, Evans did start all nine matches to open the season nd could be in contention to reclaim a spot in the starting XI.

Remains out Saturday Evans is not in the match day squad to face Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Impact Evans is out of the match despite returning to training in the buildup. Harry Souttar and Wout Faes start in the center of Leicester's back four.

Back in training Evans (hamstring) has returned to training with Leicester City ahead of the Crystal Palace clash at the weekend, manager Brendan Rodgers announced at his press conference Thursday.

Impact Multiple injuries have limited Evans to just one Premier League appearance off the bench since early October, and most recently he missed the draw with Brentford just before the international break with a hamstring injury. He's making progress with his recovery as he's been able to return to training this week, but he'll still be questionable to face Palace on Saturday.

Unavailable Saturday Evans is not in the match day squad to face Brentford on Saturday.

Impact Evans had hope to be apart of the squad but ultimately misses out with an undisclosed injury. Daniel Amartey pairs Harry Souttar in the center of defense for Leicester in Evans' absence.

Impact Evans is at risk of missing Saturday's match after picking up an undisclosed injury. He has missed the previous 16 games with a calf injury, though it is unclear if he has reinjured it. Once back, he will have to compete with Harry Soutter and Daniel Amartey for a starting spot at center back, however may see an advance with the title of club captain this season.

Impact This is a huge boost for Evans, who has been out since October with a thigh injury. Since he has not played in five months, it is hard to see him make the staring XI Saturday. This is still good news for the captain, who will likely return to the lineup in the next coming weeks.

Impact Evans hasn't played since October, so it'll likely take some time for him to get back to fitness and back on the pitch for the senior team. It's hard to see him cracking the starting XI even when healthy, as Harry Souttar and Wout Faes seem to be the new center-backs at Leicester unless the leadership of Evans gets him back to a starting role.

Impact Evans has been out since October due to a nagging calf injury that he already returned too early from back in December. He'll likely take things slow and then the hope is he'll have full fitness and healthy by the end of February. The question is if he'll come right back into the starting XI again, replacing Daniel Amartey or Wout Faes at center-back.

Impact Evans has had a tough run with the calf injury, it's a nagging muscular injury that has proven hard for the veteran defender to overcome. Evans hasn't played since early October and is now looking at almost four months on the sideline with the recurring problem.
