Leicester defender Wesley Fofana has confirmed he suffered a broken leg during their pre-season friendly against Villarreal.

The centre-back, 20, was caught by a reckless challenge from Fer Nino and had to leave the pitch on a stretcher.

"It is a bad day today but I am in a tremendous club with a wonderful medical team," he posted on Instagram.

"I will give you news as a soon as I have a final diagnosis but we already know that I have a fibula fracture."

Fofana was voted Leicester's young player of the season in 2020-21 after a fantastic first year in the Premier League.
