Leicester City have no manager but begin preseason friendly matches on July 5 versus Peterborough United. There have been no signings yet at King Power Stadium. And chairman Aiyawatt 'Khun Top' Srivaddhanaprabha's King Power company is supposedly in meltdown. Apart from that - everything is fine at LCFC! So here are the 23-or-so Leicester players who returned to training at City's Seagrave training facility on June 30. Some international Foxes remain on holiday for now but will make come backs soon.
State of play
In just under six weeks, the Leicester City squad will begin the 2025/26 season back down in the Championship. With a friendly match in three days time, preparations are not going too well. When considering the fact that the Foxes have made no signings, have an owner in financial strife and are yet to appoint a manager, you'd be entitled to label LCFC a mess.
Although, life goes on as they say. And the Foxes hierarchy and staff must now make the best of a particularly bad and partially ominous City situation. I don't envy the incoming team boss, to be honest. Imagine trying to motivate this lot with all that's happening with Top and Rudkin as your superiors. Damn.
The Leicester City players who returned to training on June 30
In any case, certain Leicester stars of varying ages and quality will want to get down to business, make their respective marks and solidify their places in the side. And they are just the type of professionals we want at the club!
Kasey McAteer, Hamza Choudhury and Woyo Coulibaly have been representing their nations: the Republic of Ireland, Bangladesh and Mali. Therefore they will have an extended break before returning.
