Jonny Evans says he is 'excited' to join Leicester's fight for Premier League survival after feeling removed from it because of injury
Jonny Evans says he is "excited" to join Leicester City's fight for Premier League survival after feeling removed from it because of injury.Evans says he is "ready to go now", with Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers confirming his captain could be in Saturday's squad against Chelsea."Hopefully, I can get training as much as I can and push myself."
Evans, an FA Cup winner with the Foxes in 2021, says everyone at Leicester "knows they have to start winning games" in an effort to move away from relegation risk.- a side that had started the day bottom of the table - has seen the Foxes dragged to within two points of the relegation places."Not being out on the pitch, it's difficult to know what the lads are experiencing out there and what they are feeling," he told BBC East Midlands Today.
"When you are in the position of captain, you feel a responsibility and that has been the most difficult thing to deal with." Still, with 13 games remaining, the three-time Premier League-winning former Manchester United defender is optimistic about Leicester's hopes of avoiding the drop. "All fans ask for, or anyone asks for, is complete commitment and determination - everyone giving everything they have," he said"I'm looking forward to getting back and I'm excited to get back and have that challenge ahead of me."
