Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare admits that he remains unclear on the availability of Papy Mendy ahead of their clash against West Ham United on Saturday.

The former assistant manager will have almost his whole squad fit for their trip to the London Stadium on Saturday, with Mendy the only doubt.

The Foxes are currently on a roll with three victories and will be looking to continue their recent renaissance in fortunes by taking another three points from the Hammers.

The 53-year-old insists that his side have fully recovered from their triumph against Spanish La Liga side Seville in the Champions League, but admits that he is unclear on the readiness of Mendy.

‘Everyone is okay,’ Shakespeare told the Leicester City website.

‘Papy Mendy trained partly today and we will assess him again tomorrow to see if he can take more part in the training session, and then make a decision. He’s 50-50 for the squad, but it is good having him out on the training pitch again.’

Leicester City will be hoping to continue their winning ways when they take on West Ham United in the Premier League on Saturday.

The match at the London Stadium kicks off at 17:00.
