Luis Hernandez believes Leicester City's performance the Community Shield against Manchester United proves that the reigning champions will again be a match for the Premier League's biggest sides this season.
United won the match against the Foxes courtesy of a Zlatan Ibrahimovic header in the last 10 minutes.
Hernandez, a summer signing from Sporting Gijon has urged his team-mates to take encouragement from their 2-1 defeat and to use their near miss as motivation in their Premier League opener against Hull City on Saturday.
'It is important that we have the hurt in the next game next Saturday,' the 27-year-old told LCFC TV.
