Claudio Ranieri hints at Leicester's new signing Molla Wague not being ready to start in the Premier League

Claudio Ranieri has made the startling admission Leicester may not be able to rely on new signing Molla Wague immediately as the centre-back adjusts to Premier League football.

Leicester were determined to add a quality centre-back in the January window to provide competition for Wes Morgan and Robert Huth but were thwarted in pursuits of their primary targets and instead recruited Wague on loan from Udinese.

Morgan and Huth have been showing signs of needing a rest but Ranieri said he must first view his new defender in training before determining whether he can play instead.
