Leicester 3-2 Villarreal: Dominant Foxes victory marred by Wesley Fofana injury in pre-season friendly... with Caglar Soyuncu, Harvey Barnes and Ayoze Perez on the scoresheet

Leicester made light work of reigning Europa League champions Villarreal in a 3-0 pre-season friendly victory but saw defender Wesley Fofana stretchered off in agony after what looked to be a serious injury.

With the Foxes three goals to the good, Fofana was poorly tackled from behind by Fernando Nino Rodriguez mid-way though the second half and went down howling.

The 20-year-old was immediately tended to by medical staff and seen being given oxygen on the pitch before being wheeled down the tunnel on a stretcher, the long pause and seriousness of the situation puncturing a hole in an otherwise lively evening.
