Hard Work Leading To This, Says Choudhury

- Leicester City welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to King Power Stadium on Sunday (2pm BST kick-off)
- Academy graduate Hamza Choudhury has described the excitement building in the Foxes squad
- The 21-year-old made nine Premier League appearances for the Foxes last season
- Now Choudhury is hoping to once again 'help push the team forward' during the 2019/20 campaign

The new campaign begins with an intriguing fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers at King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon (2pm BST kick-off).

As the Foxes complete their final week of preparations at Belvoir Drive, following Friday's win over Atalanta, Choudhury says everyone at the Club is raring to go.

Asked about his feelings before the big kick-off, he said: "We're really excited! We’ve put all our hard work into pre-season and it’s all for the weekend. We’re all looking forward to it.

"Hopefully we can start with three points and then obviously start as we mean to go on. I'm really, really excited. I think I said before, I’m trying to get as many games as I can.

"I want to help push the team forward. If that’s obviously playing in the starting line-up or coming on from the bench, then I’m excited to get started."

Discussing the week ahead, which is likely to include more intense training under the management of Brendan Rodgers, the Academy graduate reiterated his commitment to the cause.

Choudhury added: "There maybe won't be as much [running] in the legs, but it'll definitely be as intense [as it has been] in training," he said. "I think that’s how the gaffer works.

"He wants intensity every day – obviously in training and in games, so it definitely won’t be light, definitely won’t be relaxed, but we’re looking forward to it."
