Leicester star Wesley Fofana is taken off on a stretcher with a BROKEN FIBULA after 'sickening' tackle from Villarreal's Fer Nino in pre-season friendly... as Twitter takes aim at the Spaniard - who went on to score for his side later in the match!

Leicester suffered a huge blow ahead of the new Premier League season after Wesley Fofana was stretchered off with a suspected broken leg following a horror tackle in their 3-2 pre-season win over Villarreal.

The 20-year-old was scythed down from behind by Villarreal forward Fernando Nino Rodriguez mid-way through the second half when Leicester were cruising 3-0 ahead.

Fofana screamed in agony and was quickly tended to by medical staff, as his fellow Foxes players appeared shaken by the nature of the injury.
