Leicester defender Fofana confirms he broke his leg against Villarreal & is set for lengthy absence

The centre-back was stretchered off in the Foxes' 3-2 victory over the Europa League holders and faces a long period on the sidelines

Wesley Fofana has confirmed that he suffered a broken leg in Leicester City's pre-season win over Villarreal, with the Frenchman admitting that he does not know when he will return.

The centre-back was stretchered off with what was later confirmed as a fibula fracture during Brendan Rodgers' side's 3-2 win over the Europa League holders at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday.

Now, the defender has taken to social media to thank well-wishers for their support while vowing to return even stronger after what is set be a lengthy absence.
