Leicester City winger Harvey Barnes feels they won't reach their best without Jonny Evans.

Evans has not played since the FA Cup final in May as he struggles with ligament pain in his foot. He is back in training but not yet working alongside his team-mates.

“Jonny's so important for us," Barnes told The Times. “He glues the back four or five together, he's very vocal.

“His standards are very high. That's from the Fergie [Sir Alex Ferguson] era [at Manchester United] and that's just embedded into him.

“We have a young squad so to have a player like Jonny keeping everyone on a bit of a leash, making sure no one's switching off for a half-second, it's important. It will be good to get him back."
