Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana is working his way back from preseason injury.

Fofana suffered a leg fracture and damaged ankle ligaments from a tackle against Villarreal.

Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers has revealed the defender's return is on track.

"Wesley is ahead of schedule," Rodgers said recently. "He has devoted everything to his recovery. He is looking very strong, so hopefully not long after the Christmas period he could be back, which would be brilliant news for us."

“He will probably join the group in the next international break, so probably over the course of this sector of games, he will not be available."
