"It has been amazing because seeing these guys, everyone is okay. So, we're really happy to be back. I'm really, really happy to see these boys and see the manager and everyone at the Club.

"First, we started [training on our own] and then we went into groups of five. So, [in] the groups of five, there was no contact. It's just some distance, two metres apart.

"Or even more [distance] because you do different drills, you know. So, the good thing is seeing these boys, you get the feeling that everything is coming back, trying to become normal.

"It's a good feeling. And then the training is getting back and we're getting used to distancing and training. It has been amazing seeing the boys and giving Bluetooth hugs to everyone.

Ndidi, 23, believes that detailed fitness plan has enabled the Foxes squad to resume contact training with a healthy base level of fitness ahead of a phased transition into more tactical work over coming weeks.

"They've really helped me because those plans were just trying to help you stay in shape, trying to keep you fit ahead of what we're doing now.

"It really helped me because, psychologically, I'm always ready; ready and just trying to improve myself, you know. So, I'd say it has really helped me," he concluded.
