sacreblueits442 Posted 25 July 2019 Share Posted 25 July 2019 SHARE BY RICHARD CUSACK 21:03, 24 JUL 2019 Leicester City's Under-23s were beaten 4-0 by OH-Leuven on Wednesday night. City's sister club, also owned by King Power, travelled to Leuven for their third fixture of pre-season. Steve Beaglehole's side saw three first-team players feature for the Young Foxes in Filip Benkovic, Fousenni Diabate and Daniel Amartey. Benkovic was making his first appearance for City since returning from Celtic on loan, while Amartey continues his recovery from an ankle injury sustained last October. Diabate is unlikely to feature in Brendan Rodgers' first-team squad this season and has been linked with a return to Turkey, where he spent the second half of last season on loan, at Sivasspor. Other notable names who were involved include Khanya Leshabela, Josh Knight, Callum Elder, George Thomas and Alex Pascanu, the latter returning from Under-21 European Championships commitments in Italy with Romania. Leuven took the lead after 15 minutes with a goal from Kamal Sowah, who is on loan from City. They ended half-time 1-0 up and doubled their advantage ten minutes into the second half through a penalty by Yanis Mbombo. Drin Sula added a third seven minutes later with the help of video assistant referee, while Jo Gilis netted another spot-kick one minute from time to complete the rout. Leicester's Under-23s round off their pre-season with a trip to Radcliffe when they return to the United Kingdom on August 6. They now have two defeats and one win from their summer preparations so far, beating Jersey Bulls 3-0 earlier this month before losing 1-0 to Hednesford Town on Friday. Leicester City Under-23s : Johansson; Amartey, Moore, Knight, Benkovic, Elder; G. Thomas, Leshabela, Wright, Diabate; Muskwe. Substitutes : Stolarczyk, Daley-Campbell, Ndukwu, Clark, Pascanu, Tee, Loft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment the squad is too thin, the starting 11 looks good if they can add a strong central defender thanks to some good transfers during the last winter break. But the squad needs some extra quality to deal with injuries, suspensions,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last pre-season he was one of the better performers in a makeshift first team that was missing numerous players who'd featured at the World Cup. This pre-season I don't think he travelled to the Evian training camp, hasn't featured in pre-season squads, and doesn't even seem to be making the bench for the U23s. Not seen anything about him being released or loaned out either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can show such composure in front of goal then I think we should be looking to bring him back to the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 25 July 2019 Share Posted 25 July 2019 Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that promising Nigerian defender Daniel Obi is now a bona fide player of Premier League side Leicester City. Obi has been training with the Foxes youth team since November 2018 and there was an agreement for the player to sign a two-year scholarship on July 1, 2019. Leicester City have not yet confirmed their new first-year scholars for the 2019-2020 season, but this website has been informed that the central defender is among the prospects in the intake, having penned a two-year deal. Although Obi grew up in the United Kingdom, he has not forgotten his roots and was part of the Team Nigeria UK squad that defeated Team Zimbabwe UK in an international friendly in London. He has already debuted for Leicester City U18s, against Norwich City in an U18 Premier League fixture in April 2019. Derby County, Birmingham City and Leeds United had explored the possibility of signing the center back but he chose to join Leicester City.

Ric Flair Posted 29 July 2019 Share Posted 29 July 2019 So that's another 4 new defenders signed for our U23's this summer, surely at least a few of Hughes, Knight, Pascanu, Moore and Johnson will be getting loan moves away? It'll be interesting to see whether the U18's will be promoted this year or if we will continue clogging the pathway with released 18-20 year old players who have less than a 1% chance of making it with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iversen probably going to be the closest? Not sure when/where we got leahabala from? Then we got Barnes chilwell choudary who all been in academy a few year from early ages!

I don't think we plan on them ever getting to the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
