Abdul Fatawu has continued to share his progress while recovering from a long-term injury.
Fatawu was ruled out for the season after suffering an ACL injury during the international break in November.
In his absence, Leicester have been on a dreadful run of form and have slipped from 16th to 19th in the Premier League table.
While away from the pitch, the young Ghanian has been working hard behind the scenes to get back to fitness and he’s got supporters all saying the same thing.

Leicester fans react to Abdul Fatawu’s injury update
In the series of videos posted to his Instagram, Fatawu shared his recovery work which included working in the swimming pool and weight training.
The 20-year-old was flooded with comments from Foxes fans, who all expressed their support for the winger, as well as admit that they were missing seeing him in action.
@apildecembe said: “We love you yere at Leicester Abdul! We want you to stay with us for many many more years! Can’t wait till you are back.”
@chrisguetta17 added: “Be back soon we need you.”

@josh_smyth8 said: “I miss you Abdul.”
@bertlcfc also commented: “Brother we have missed you.”
@linzij12 stated: “It’s going to be amazing to see you walk back out the tunnel again. We’re all behind you.”
When will Abdul Fatawu return from injury?
Unfortunately for Ruud van Nistelrooy and Leicester, it appears that there will be no chance of Fatawu returning before the season is out.
Given the extent of the injury, rushing back a player of his quality could be a risk – especially if there’s a setback in his progress.
Given Leicester’s issues in attack, the return of Fatawu would be most welcome but as it stands, he will be returning to the Foxes lineup in the Championship and trying to help his teammates get back to the Premier League once again.
