Puel optimistic over Gray injury

The England U21 international injured his ankle attempting to block an Adama Traore cross in stoppage time and needed several minutes of treament before being helped from the pitch. 

He was then spotted limping out of the ground with his foot in a protective boot, but Puel was in a positive mood about the setback post-match.

"He is positive. It was the one time he defended. Demarai has hurt his left ankle and will have a scan tomorrow morning (Wednesday). I hope it's not a serious injury," he revealed.

Goalkeeper Danny Ward - a summer signing from Liverpool - was the hero for the 'Foxes', saving three penalties in the shootout and impressing Puel no end.

"We have recruited him just for penalties," Puel joked. "No, we know his quality, in training sessions.

"He is a fantastic 'keeper and it was a good opportunity for him to show his quality so I am happy for him.

"It was a tough game for the team and for him also because he didn't have a lot to do in the game so he had to keep his concentration and his condition until the penalties, and he was very successful."

Despite being knocked out, Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo was delighted with his side's performancem saying: "Leicester started strong but I thought we controlled the game after that. We were the better team and created more chances.

"The changes meant nothing for us, we kept the same philosophy. I was proud of the way the players worked this evening.

"Defensively we have shown we are good and for the second year in a row we have gone out of the competition without conceding a goal."
