Claude Puel says Leicester City skipper Wes Morgan is not available for this weekend's Premier League clash with Swansea City.

- Leicester City manager Claude Puel discusses the fitness of Wes Morgan ahead of his side’s Premier League clash with Swansea
- The skipper has returned to training, but will not be available for the weekend
- City host Carlos Carvalhal’s men at King Power Stadium on Saturday (3pm kick-off)

The central defender has not featured since picking up a hamstring injury during the 3-0 Premier League win over Huddersfield Town on New Year’s Day.

Puel confirmed Morgan will not be involved on Saturday, but his return to training has certainly been a welcome sight for the Frenchman.

Speaking to the media about Morgan’s fitness on Friday afternoon, Puel said: “He was in the training session this morning.

"He will come back in the training session and will be available for games later [this season] and we will see this.

“He needs training sessions and good match fitness to play with us now.”
