Leicester defender Wesley Fofana happy to be back for preseason

Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana is happy with his progress in preseason.

Fofana is about to kickoff his second season with Leicester after arriving last summer from Saint Etienne.

"It's going well," the 20-year-old told LCFC TV. "It's like when I arrived last season, everyone has been very welcoming, everyone is happy being back and happy to see one another. We're working hard. The first two weeks are always tough, but we're working hard and it's going well.

"I've missed it, I think everyone has. It's a month of holidays without your team-mates, so it's nice to get back together and we're all really happy to be back out on the pitch."

Fofana added: "I'm feeling good. I finished last season with an injury, but now I've recovered. I worked hard with the physios over the break to get better and now I'm back training with the group; I feel good."
