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.

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.

APRIL 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Facing fitness test Evans (undisclosed) will be reassessed ahead of Saturday's clash versus Brentford, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "We'll have to see, there's a doubt around him. Hopefully [...

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.

Back in training Evans (thigh) is back in training and edging closer to a return, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "It's getting him through this week, seeing where he's at towards the end of...

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 sidelined since early October with a calf injury, though he was able to play in a Carabao Cup win in November before re-injuring himself. He's still hoping to be able to return at some point in February.

Should join training soon Evans (calf) is expected to join team training within the next 10 days, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "He's out on the grass with the rehab team. Hopefully, over a week to...

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.

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.

NOVEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

OCTOBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.
