Jonny Evans - Page 6 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Starts midweek, leaves injured Evans started in Thursday's UEL match and then left after the break because of his foot injury. According to manager Brendan Rodgers, "We just need to wait and see," Rodgers said o...

Impact This isn't too surprising for Evans, as it seems like the team is pushing him a little too much. Plantar fasciitis is something that takes a long time to recover from and even if he's felt well enough to get on the pitch, playing twice in five days probably isn't the best route for an injury that has kept Evans out since the end of last season.

Available Saturday Evans (foot) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Manchester City.

Impact Evans' availability is a nice boost to Leicester City's defense, though with Jannik Vestergaard now fit, he may find playing time hard to come by.

Could be available Saturday Evans (foot) is "progressing very well" and could be an option for Saturday's match against Manchester City, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "That's what we have to assess go...

Impact It's going to be a process for Evans, so even though he's training, it's not guaranteed that he's completely fit or healthy. This is a foot issue that may bug him the entire season, as it has the past four months. Either way, it'd be a surprise if he was in the XI come Saturday in a huge spot.

Aiming for international break Evans (foot) is aiming to return to full training during next month's international break, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "Jonny was out on the pitch today. The plan for him...

Impact It's unknown when this plan was made for Evans, but there's still no guarantee he's ready to start following a return to training. It's a nagging foot injury that can seemingly pop up at any moment, so until he gets at least a full week of training in, he probably won't be an option to start.

Likely out until September Evans is set to miss the first three matches of the season because of his ongoing plantar fasciitis, reports Leicester Mercury. "He's improving but at the moment, we're looking at...

Impact This was expected to be the case for Evans, who combined with the loss of Wesley Fofana, leaves a hole in the Leicester back line. Evans will hope to get healthy as soon as possible, but he's dealt with the injury since last season and there's no guarantee he'll be ready by September.

Still not ready to play Evans is still dealing with plantar fasciitis and is a doubt for the Aug. 14 opener, manager Brendan Rodgers recently revealed. "At this moment in time, he's progressing well, he's...

Impact It doesn't seem like Evans will be ready in two weeks, given that he's dealt with this issue since April, which is the last time he appeared in a match. These kinds of injuries are hit or miss and the main hope for Evans is that it doesn't eventually require surgery, which would push his return back even further.

Out for finale Evans (heel) will not be risked for Sunday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact This isn't too surprising for Evans, who has been heavily bothered by plantar fasciitis since the beginning of the month. He tried to play through it in the FA Cup final, but it wasn't possible, and he'll instead hope to recover completely over the summer. He closes another successful campaign with two goals, two assists and 10 clean sheets in 28 starts.

Out Tuesday Evans (heel) will miss Tuesday's match against Chelsea, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "Jonny won't play in the game, he'll struggle for that. We'll see what he's like for n...

Impact Evans sat a week before starting the FA Cup final and it clearly wasn't long enough. It'd be a surprise if he was used in the final two league matches, as this is a nagging injury that can't be healed overnight. For now, it's best for him to rest before putting too much pressure back on his foot.

MAY 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers injury recurrence Evans was forced off in the first half of Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea because of an ongoing foot issue.

Impact Evans pushed through his plantar fasciitis to start Saturday's match, but it clearly was a mistake as he took a wrong step and couldn't continue against Chelsea. It's likely something that will bug him the rest of the season and there's a chance he misses the team's final two league matches, possibly pushing Timothy Castagne into a center-back role.

MAY 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Chelsea Evans (heel) is in the starting XI for Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea.

Impact Evans is back in the squad Saturday after missing the last two matches with a foot issue. It's more about pain tolerance for him and while he's not 100 percent, he'll fight through and should be good for 90 minutes Saturday. He's a huge boost for Leicester, who have struggled in the back without Evans.

MAY 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Late test for Cup final Evans (heel) will be a late-fitness test for Saturday's FA Cup final, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "He was outside today and he looked really good. We'll see what the reac...

Impact Evans has missed the last two matches with a heel issue and it looks like it's something that will bother him the rest of the way. At this point, he seems likely to push through the injury Saturday, but also starting a few days later in the league match at Chelsea seems like a stretch.

MAY 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out against Man United Evans (heel) is not in the squad for Tuesday's match against Manchester United.

Impact As expected, Evans isn't in the team Tuesday after barely being able to walk following warmups last week. Timothy Castagne is again starting on the back line, though it's against a second-tier Man United lineup. Evans will hope to recover and be ready for the upcoming FA Cup final.
