Leicester fullback Pereira happy with injury recovery

Leicester City fullback Ricardo Pereira is happy with his recovery from knee surgery.

Pereira suffered a season-ending anterior cruciate ligament injury in last month's Premier League home win over Aston Villa - Leicester's final match before the coronavirus lockdown.

The Portugal international told Sky Sports News on his recovery: "It's going well. It was tough in the first few days; I had a lot of pains from the surgery and it was difficult to move, like when going to the toilet or something.

"But each day I feel better, I've got more power in my leg and I'm aware of movements that I didn't have after the surgery which is good because I feel improvements every day.

"Since I've had the surgery I've been at home. I wake up, come downstairs and do my rehab.

"Most of the things I can do now I can do from home, like three or four times a week I do a video call with my physio to do some exercises for him to see how it is.

"I've been watching TV series and films, and being with the family - that's my day."
