Football: Leicester City to return to Jersey

The former Premier League champions’ U23s are set to play the Island’s men’s squad on Tuesday evening as part of their preparations for the 2017/18 campaign. It follows a 3-0 victory for the East Midland club here in April.

For Jersey, the fixture is being viewed as a welcomed season finale following the disappointment of the Island Games in Gotland.

‘We hoped we’d be returning from Gotland as gold medal winners, so I think there’s unfinished business this season,’ said JFA vice-president Iain MacKenzie.
