Leicester City Announce Palermo Friendly
– Foxes to take on Italian side Palermo in Chesterfield
– Match to take place on Friday 26 July (7pm kick-off)
– Full pre-season match programme now confirmed
The meeting with the Serie B side will take place at Chesterfield’s SMH Group Stadium on Friday 26 July at 7pm and will come three days after another friendly fixture away to Shrewsbury Town on Tuesday 23 July.
After making their return to pre-season training in Leicester last week, the squad will now depart for a training camp in France before their double-header of fixtures on UK soil against Shrewsbury and Palermo.
Another training camp in Germany will follow, including a behind-closed-doors training exercise against a local side, which comes ahead of another friendly fixture in Kempten against German team Augsburg on Saturday 3 August.
The team then return to the UK to continue their preparations ahead of a final pre-season fixture away to RC Lens in France to help get them in the best condition for the Premier League opener against Tottenham Hotspur at King Power Stadium on Monday 19 August.
