What a poor challenge to make, especially in a pre-season friendly. There's just no need for it.
Fofana, one of the most promising youngsters in the world, now looks set to miss much of the 2021/22 season.
We hope Fofana's injury is not as bad as it looks and he's back on the pitch as soon as possible.
Leicester would go on to win the friendly at the King Power Stadium 3-2.
