Every Leicester player at the Dubai training camp

Foxes of Leicester detail every Leicester City player currently involving at the warm-weather Dubai training camp, including young Foxes.

There are 22 Foxes currently in the United Arab Emirates. That number includes seven Leicester youth players. The trip began a week ago; the athletes have been practicing in 30 degree weather.

Kasey McAteer, Will Alves, Sammy Braybrooke, Arlo Doherty, Kelechi Chibueze, Lewis Brunt and Joe Wormleighton complete the up-and-coming contingent. Senior goalkeepers Daniel Iversen and Alex Smithies are also there.

Jonny Evans, Jannik Vestergaard, and Luke Thomas roundup the defenders. Unfortunately injured defensive quartet Ricardo Pereira, James Justin, Caglar Soyuncu and Ryan Bertrand are not with the squad.

Meanwhile, midfielders Wilfred Ndidi, Boubakary Soumare, Dennis Praet and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are involved. Not to mention widemen Marc Albrighton, Harvey Barnes and Ayoze Perez. Strikers Jamie Vardy, Patson Daka and Kelechi Iheanacho finish off the group.

Leicester City captain Jonny Evans on Abu Dhabi training and promoted youth starlets

Evans recently talked about the tough double practice sessions. Yet the Northern Ireland international labelled the experience as unique whilst he and the remainder of the LCFC roster are in Abu Dhabi, the Emirati capital.

In addition to that, Evans said it is strange having an unheard of mid-season break. He feels this new period is similar to the preseason feeling. Furthermore, returning to the testing time in the heat, the 34-years-old suggests he’s merely trying to get through the difficulty of fitness training. Though he understands sharpness will benefit the team endlessly.

The former Manchester United centrehalf also wanted to note the manager’s due diligence. Rodgers gave the players not in Qatar two weeks off before jetting out to the camp, with prior notice. Evans spent quality time with his family; some of the extended side played friendly games during their brief vacations.

On the youngsters stepping up for the Foxes, Evans is proud. He loves seeing the lads coming through the ranks and doing what he can to help. Adding that they have impressed, as well as elevating the freshness of the drills.
