will be keen to hear pearson's assessment in tomorrow's press conference. i assume you wont see him in contention (injuries allowing)  to start until burnley at home 4th october. at the moment, there doesnt seem to be much cause to rush him back. let him regain his fitness steadily. he is the one player i was most keen to see in the PL. patience needed.

It's a shame because he's the best young player in the world

Have you ever seen him lose the ball? Ever?

Any news on his fitness, nearly 4 weeks since the start of the season for what was a "shin" injury?

Could be shin splints. My brother had it when he was a kid and went from playing 3/4 times a week to not playing for nearly 2 months.

Matty James only lost two league games last season: Charlton away (he got sent off) and Sheffield Wednesday...

Great Stat. What's the case with Dean Hammond? Other than Stoke away can't remember him losing for us.

Not sure that last season alone is a statistically sound basis for making judgements.

It was obvious to us all last season how good a player Matty James is. Absolutely fantastic footballer. I can't wait to have him back.

My point was purely about stats. In a season where you lose a handful of matches, using stats about lost games is questionable. Your statement is one I agree with.

I want to hear something position from NP in this regard today. would be good to know that he was back in training in some capacity.

He started in the defeat away to Sheff Wed and in the FA Cup defeat against Stoke

Thanks for correcting me, I've edited it now. I'm ashamed with myself for getting that wrong! 

 

In all fairness to James, the defeat to Wednesday was due bad defending from Wasyl (who played at RB) and conceding from a set piece.

He will have a job getting back in the team what with Cambiasso, Hammond, King and Drinkwater vying for two spots

What an excellent problem to have.

Leicester City midfielder Matty James has returned to full training after injury, but won’t be ready to face Stoke City on Saturday, manager Nigel Pearson has said.

James has returned from a shin injury which has delayed the start of his Premier League season and has trained fully this week, but having missed several weeks, Pearson said he needed more training before being ready for match action.

City are also waiting on the return of ta few of their internationals, including Riayd Mahrez, before discovering if all seven of his internationals had returned fully fit for the trip to the Britannia Stadium.

“We've still got two or three players to get back so can't update on the squad. It is a typical international week,” he said.

 

“We've had several away this week and we still don't have everyone back.

"Some federations are more forthcoming than others. One or two lads have played for African Nations and the logistics are more complicated.

“We're very happy with how the squad has trained and have the bonus of Matty James being back with the squad.

"All in all we are getting nearer full strength and that's a big plus.”

City have several new players who are vying to make their full debuts on Saturday.

Nick Powell and Tom Lawrence joined from Manchester United on transfer deadline day, while Esteban Cambiasso and Danny Simpson are also competing to make their first full appearance.

“Tom’s been away with Wales so his first day with the squad was today,” he said.

“Nick has been with us all week and has fitted in well.

"But where they are in terms of selection, means they come in contention like anyone else. But the squad is best suited to that specific game.

"All the players we've added, we've been pleased with how they've been integrated. We have different styles and that's always handy.”

Didn't Hammond play against Brighton.

 

And played far fewer games than James.
