Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi and Leicester City suffered a tough 3-0 defeat against Lens in a preseason match yesterday, as the Foxes continue their preparations for the upcoming season.

All three goals for Lens came within a ten-minute span early in the second half. Kevin Danso opened the scoring, followed by a brace from Angelo Fulgini, sealing a convincing victory for Will Still’s side.

Despite creating a few chances in both halves, Leicester City struggled to find the back of the net and failed to stage a successful comeback and the defeat marks their third loss in four preseason games.

Ndidi, who recently signed a contract extension with Leicester City, committing his future to the King Power Stadium until June 2027, was unable to help his side avoid another setback.

Leicester City, promoted back to the Premier League after winning the Championship, will face Tottenham at the King Power Stadium on Monday, August 19, in their first Premier League game of the season.
