The Foxes took a short bike ride to the training pitches in the morning sun and began with a series of drills as temperatures began to rise, before an in-house 11-a-side followed.

Craig Shakespeare’s men had photos taken with fans and signed autographs prior to starting an intense session which saw them quickly work up a sweat.

Included were goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and striker Islam Slimani, while new boy Vicente Iborra trained with his team-mates for the first time.

Austrian native Christian Fuchs told LCFC TV: “You’re meant to feel great when you’re back in your own country, but given the first training session it’s anything but that.

“It’s pretty exhausting, but that’s just what you expect from a pre-season training camp. We worked pretty well and everything was very tough, so it was a good session.

Fuchs: We're Working Well

“None of us expected it to be really hot here, but it’s much hotter than England. We can cope with it and it won’t be any different when the season starts, so it’s good so far.”

A much cooler evening session consisted of a series of small-sided games, allowing Fuchs and his team-mates to get a feel of the ball.

He added: “We’re getting into games now – all those movements, strides and sprints and that core work is just what you expect from pre-season.

“It’s obviously very necessary for the season. I hope there’s more ball work coming up soon!”
