AdminThere was a welcome sight at Seagrave this week as one familiar face returned to training with Russell Martin’s squad ahead of Leicester City’s opening pre-season fixture, boosting the manager’s options before the new campaign.
The left-sided defender was pictured taking part in first-team training as preparations stepped up under Martin, who continues to put his players through intensive sessions with the Foxes building fitness and adapting to the new manager’s style of play ahead of Saturday’s friendly.
Leicester confirmed that the squad has increased the intensity of its work during the second week of pre-season as Martin lays the foundations for the season ahead.
The player in question is Luke Thomas, whose return to full training will be a welcome boost for Leicester as the academy graduate looks to establish himself under the club’s new head coach.
The defender has been a familiar face around the first team for several seasons and now has the opportunity to impress Martin during pre-season.
Competition for places is expected to be fierce, with every training session and friendly providing players with the chance to stake a claim for a regular role.
Martin has made it clear that standards will be high as he reshapes the squad for the new campaign.
Leicester’s pre-season schedule gets underway this week, with supporters eager to see Martin’s first side in action.
Thomas’ involvement in training is another positive sign for the Foxes as they continue their preparations, hoping to build momentum before the League One season begins.
