Daniel Amartey made his debut appearance for Leicester City for the first time in eight months in their pre-season win against Scunthorpe United on Tuesday.

The Ghanaian international has been out since last October when he suffered a horror injury during the club’s 1-1 draw with West Ham.

Amartey broke his ankle following an innocuous challenge with Michail Antonio which ruled him out for the rest of season.

The tough-tackling guardsman also missed out on Ghana’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations campaign.

Amartey joined the Foxes from Danish giants FC Copenhagen during the 2016 winter transfer window.
