​Leicester winger Albrighton excited for King Power return

Leicester City winger Marc Albrighton suggests the players are as excited as supporters for the return of football to the King Power Stadium.

The Premier League side are set to play their first home friendly at the stadium, ahead of the new league season.

They take on Valencia on Wednesday night, as they step up preparations for the first game of the season at Manchester United.

"It will be good," said Albrighton per Leicestershire Live.

"I am sure the Leicester fans have missed football just as much as the players have.

"They will be eager to get down and watch some football, and there is some good quality opposition in Valencia coming. It's all positive."
