Leicester City to face Valladolid

Leicester City

Championship newcomers Leicester City have announced that they will play Spanish side Real Valladolid in a pre-season friendly this summer.

The Foxes will celebrate their promotion by welcoming the La Liga team to the Walkers Stadium on 2 August.

Chairman Milan Mandaric told the club's website: "It is going to give our manager and team a good test against a good skilful team.

"They will be able to see all the new players and the way they are gelling."

Leicester will also play four away matches at Tamworth, Mansfield Town, Shrewsbury Town and Chesterfield as they prepare for life back in the Championship.
