Daniel Amartey plays as Leicester City lose to Udinese in preseason

Leicester City was beaten 2-1 by the serie A side in a mouthwatering encounter.

Udinese started well and when Kevin Lasagna converted to open the scoring, it made City’s challenge against a competitive Serie A side even more difficult.

After breaking the deadlock through Kevin Lsagna, Udinese had a second 19 minutes later through Darwin Marchis but Leicester could not find a reply until the 89th minute.

Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho scored the consolation for the 2015/16 English Champions.

Meanwhile, Daniel Amartey's compatriot Nicholas Opoku came on in the second half for Udinese and fired a shot which nearly troubled Leicester goalkeeper Ward.

Next up for Leicester City is a King Power Stadium clash with Valencia on Wednesday evening.
