Leicester City boss Rodgers pleased to see Amartey score in first game after two years

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers was thrilled to have Daniel Amartey back in the Foxes fold in Saturday’s 1-1 friendly draw with Blackburn Rovers, with the Ghanaian midfielder scoring on the occasion.

The 25-year-old has been out with an ankle injury for nearly two years, last playing in a 1-1 draw at home to West Ham United on October 27, 2018.

Amartey did make attempts for a comeback, first being an unused substitute in a third-round 4-0 EFL Cup victory at Luton Town on September 24, 2019, before getting involved with the reserves in December.
