England legend, John Terry has warned Chelsea to be wary of defender, Jonny Evans ahead of their FA Cup final against Leicester City on Saturday.
Leicester parade other defenders such as Wesley Fofana who has made an instant impact at the club following his £36.5 million move from Saint-Etienne last October, and Caglar Soyuncu whose solid presence has not gone unnoticed.
Chelsea could secure their first trophy of the season on Saturday as they face Brendan Rodgers’ men at Wembley.
Terry identified Evans as Leicester’s key man in defence following his series of consistent performances for the Foxes.
Terry described Evans as the most “underrated defender in Premier League” in an Instagram post on Saturday, but Leicester are, however, sweating over the fitness of Evans ahead of the final
Evans has missed the last two Premier League games for Leicester due to a heel injury, but Rodgers is ‘hopeful’ that the 33-year-old will be fit enough to feature on Saturday.
“We’ll give him another day, he’s progressed really well in this last 24 hours,” Rodgers said on Friday.
“He was outside today and he looked really good. We’ll see what the reaction is after that and then we’ll make a final decision on that tomorrow, but we’re really hopeful.”
