"Leicester City" faced extremely bad news just before the new season. On Wednesday, during a friendly match against "Villarreal", defender Wesley Fofana suffered a serious injury. The footballer later confirmed on his social media account about the leg fracture, but a more precise diagnosis will be clear later on. The 20-year-old Frenchman suffered the injury after being played very roughly by "Villarreal" forward Fer Nino. According to unconfirmed data, W. Fofana may miss the entire upcoming season. Last season, the Frenchman played 38 matches for "Leicester".

Why on earth are players tackling like this in a pre-season 'friendly'??? Get well soon Fofana 💙 pic.twitter.com/aFbuihqlXz - matt 🏴🍻 (@thfcmxtt) August 4, 2021
