The Foxes were in a buoyant mood after reporting for pre-season testing.

Monday’s returning contingent included City new boy Harry Maguire, skipper Wes Morgan and youngster Harvey Barnes, who finished as the Toulon Tournament’s top scorer after helping England Under-20s retain their title this summer. 

A mild Belvoir Drive was the setting as preparations began for a pre-season schedule that sees the Foxes contest a total of seven fixtures, including two Premier League Asia Trophy matches.

First up is a six-day training camp in Austria, before two clashes out in Hong Kong are followed by friendly trips to Luton, MK Dons, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burton Albion.

A fixture against Borussia Monchengladbach at King Power Stadium on Friday 4 August completes City’s pre-season schedule ahead of the 2017/18 Premier League curtain-raiser at Arsenal.
