Leicester ace Tielemans excited by Wembley return: Man City good test

Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans is happy to be back at Wembley for the Community Shield.

As FA Cup holders, Leicester will face Premier League champions Manchester City in the season's curtain-raiser on Saturday.

"We're really excited," City's No.8 told LCFC TV in Seagrave this week. "Obviously, it's a chance to get another trophy for the Club, so it's going to be, I hope, an interesting game and to be back in Wembley with fans will be amazing.

"It was really nice to get them back in on Wednesday and hopefully, on Saturday, we can have a good result and then celebrate with the fans like we did in May with the FA Cup. There's going to be even more fans, so it's going to be amazing."

On whether memories of that magical day in May will come flooding back this weekend, the former AS Monaco midfielder added: "Maybe! I'm not sure until we get there. We'll see, but I'm sure that once we get to the stadium, inside the changing room, and then onto the pitch, it will be a nice feeling again.

"Hopefully we can win the game to make it even better. Man City's always a good team to play against. It's going to be very hard, so it's going to be a good test."
