"It’s been difficult because we haven’t really had time to train as a group," Wilfred Ndidi, the Leicester midfielder, said with the Foxes set to return to action after a COVID-19 outbreak in their camp.
"We have to follow the protocol and it’s been difficult because we haven’t been together as a group. We’ve been training individually because of COVID-19, but we’ll just see what comes.
"It feels like [it’s been a long time since Leicester’s last game]. We had be at home for some days so it feels so long. Now we have a game coming up, but we haven’t really trained properly together. It feels a little bit better now, but as a group, everyone is not yet back."
