New Leicester City boss Claude Puel has discussed Vicente Iborra's injury, giving fans an update on the player's ankle problem picked up playing against Stoke City at the bet365 Stadium on Saturday.

The midfielder, who was on target for the Foxes during the 2-2 draw, was taken off in the second half of the match after hurting his ankle, leaving the stadium with the joint heavily bandaged after the match.

Puel, though, doesn't believe that the injury is one that will keep Iborra out for too long, but rues the timing of the upcoming international break.

"I think it is not bad," the Frenchman said, via the Leicester Mercury.
