Forgotten Leicester City defender Daniel Amartey scored for his side in a pre-season friendly game against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.

The Ghanaian who did not feature in a single Premier League game for the Foxes scored the opener in the 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers with a header in the second half of the game at the King Power stadium.

Amartey converted a header at the back post in the second half of the game but Blackburn Rovers restored parity in the game ten minutes from time through Derrick William with a header.

The Foxes were not able to add up to the goals as both side shared the spoils in the friendly game.

Brendan Rodgers' men will take on West Bromwich Albion next week in the English Premier League.

Amartey has been heavily tipped to leave the Foxes this summer after being overlooked enormously by Brendan Rodgers last term through out the season but it appears the player may have been handed an olive branch by his coach.

The Ghanaian did not last the full duration as he was replaced by Nigerian International Wilfred Ndidi in the 62nd minute.
