Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare lauds versatility of Vicente Iborra as he waits for Premier League debut

Vicente Iborra is adjusting to the intensity of English football but the midfielder must be prepared to play in different positions to further understand Leicester City's style, manager Craig Shakespeare has said.

The versatile 29-year-old signed from La Liga side Sevilla in the close season but a groin injury has delayed his Premier League debut.

Iborra did complete his first full 90 minutes in the 2-0 League Cup win over Liverpool last week and Shakespeare said he was impressed with the player's progress.
