JONNY EVANS NEWS

Sidelined for multiple weeks Evans will be out for a few weeks with a calf injury picked up in training, according to assistant manager Chris Davies."Jonny's got an issue with his calf and he'll be out for a f...

Impact Evans picked up a calf injury in training and will be out for multiple weeks. The concern with the veteran defender is that this is his second calf injury in a little under two months. Daniel Amartey will likely fill in for Evans once more, as he did earlier in the campaign when Evans picked up an identical injury.

Plays full match in Cup Evans (calf) played the full 90 during Tuesday's 3-0 win over Newport County in the Carbao Cup.

Impact Evans was ruled out against Everton but was able to return for the full 90 in the Carabao Cup. Evans moved well throughout the match and seemed able to comfortably play the entirety of it. Evans will hope to return to Premier League action during Saturday's trip to West Ham.

Not in squad to face Everton Evans is not in the match day squad to face Everton on Saturday.

Impact Evans was a late fitness test, but ultimately misses out on Saturday's squad. The defender will hope to return for Leicester's final pre-World Cup match next week against West Ham.

Late test against Everton Evans (calf) is again considered a late-fitness test for Saturday's trip to Everton, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "It's been a little bit slower than we'd have hoped but h...

Impact There's no reason to push Evans back from this calf injury, especially given that Leicester have finally been playing well in the back, even without him. Unless Rodgers thinks a change is warranted, Daniel Amartey will again be next to Wout Faes in the back for Saturday's trip.

Out against Manchester City Evans (calf) will miss Saturday's match versus Manchester City.

Impact Evans didn't pass a late fitness test and will sit out the fourth straight game. Everton are going with a back three in this one, so Daniel Amartey, Wout Faes and Caglar Soyuncu are all starting.

Needs further tests Evans (calf) needs further tests to assess his fitness, manager Brendan Rodgers announced ahead of Saturday's match against Manchester City. "In terms of the squad, we'll monitor J...

Impact Evans seems unlikely to play Saturday after missing the last three games but judging by the words of his manager, he'll be considered on a game-by-game basis until the World Cup break. That gives him three more chances to play before the league is paused until late-December. A strong partnership has formed with Daniel Amaryet and Wout Faes while Evans is unfit, as no goals have been conceded in three straight matches (two wins, one draw).

Remains out against Wolves Evans is not in the match day squad to face Wolverhampton on Sunday.

Impact Evans was in contention to be available but ultimately will miss out on Sunday's match as he continues to recover from a calf injury. It seemed as if the defender was close to a return so he may be available to feature next weekend against Manchester City.

In contention against Wolves Evans (calf) may be available to face Wolverhampton on Sunday. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "I think he'll be out on the [training] pitch, but it might be too soon for h...

Impact Evans missed the club's prior to contests due to his calf problem, having started all nine of his previous appearances. Prior to his absence, the central defender registered 31 clearances, 16 interceptions and 10 tackles (four won) but just one shot (on target). Given his limited offensive upside, Evans shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of fantasy value except in formats that prioritize defensive stats.

Out against Leeds Evans (calf) has been ruled out of Thursday's match against Leeds United, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "Jonny won't make the game, we'll see how he is for the weekend."

Impact Evans might also be a later call for Sunday's match at Wolves but he was ruled out with two days to spare before the coming contest against Leeds. Wout Faes and Daniel Amartey figure to get another start together at center-back for the coming contest as Caglar Soyuncu will also be out Thursday due to a knee injury.

Ruled out for Crystal Palace game Evans (calf) is unavailable for Saturday's match versus Crystal Palace.

Impact Evans picked up a calf issue throughout the week and has been unable to shake it off, so it'll cost him at least one game. Daniel Amartey is replacing him in the back.

Late test Saturday Evans is considered a late-fitness test for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace because of a "tight calf," according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "We'll have to assess Evans bef...

Impact This is a massive worry for Leicester, who have struggled all season to defend. Evans had gone a full 90 in every league match prior and his absence would possibly move Daniel Amartey or Caglar Soyuncu back into the starting XI. Evans has pushed through minor issues in the past, but it's probably not a good idea to push through a bad calf.

OCTOBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Seven clearances in loss Evans delivered seven clearances and managed a shot on target in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Bournemouth.

Impact Evans, the captain, had a solid game on Saturday and scored well in defensive statistics (clearances and tackles). He will likely continue to be effective in Leicester's next game against Crystal Palace. Palace's attack has been weak, they have only won one of their last five matches. From nine appearances (all starts) he has delivered one clean sheet.

OCTOBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Disastrous start to season Evans has started all seven of Leicester's Premier League matches heading into the September international break.

Impact Evans is getting consistent minutes, mostly alongside either Daniel Amartey or new arrival Wout Faes in central defense, but Leicester have conceded the most goals in the league (22) and are currently dead-last in the table.

Ends season as starter Evans started in Leicester's last five games in the season and finished with two goals and one assist in 22 appearances (20 starts).

Impact Evans missed part of the season with a hamstring injury that required surgery, but was able to recover and started in their last five games. Starting in 20 of his 22 appearances, the centerback scored twice from five shots and assisted once from six chances created between Premier League and Europa League. On defense, he finished with 27 tackles, 27 interceptions and 69 clearances to his name.

Gets minutes before break Evans (hamstring) played 26 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 2-1 win against Brentford.

Impact Evans is finally back on the pitch and it comes a couple weeks early despite the international break on deck. He'd been out since December because of a hamstring injury and it seems like his plantar fasciitis issue is gone. Along with Wesley Fofana being healthy again, Leicester's back line looks set for a nice close to the season.

Impact Evans has already missed 10 games due to his hamstring problem and is expected to remain sidelined versus Brentford on Sunday. Whenever the central defender is cleared to play, he should be in the mix for a regular spot in the starting XI where he figures to offer mid-range fantasy value at best.
