The international break is coming to a close and Leicester City stars will be making their way back to England today.

Jannik Vestergaard and Viktor Kristiansen have been in action for Denmark whilst Wilfred Ndidi featured in Nigeria’s 1-1 draw against Zimbabwe on Tuesday evening.

Leicester playmaker Bilal El Khannouss has been away with Morocco and impressed against Niger last week, netting the winner.

Bilal El Khannouss was given the nod to start again last night, as The Atlas Lions defeated Tanzania 2-0.

Morocco supporters had a lot to say about his performance on social media.

Morocco fans heap praise on Bilal El Khannouss

Morocco fans have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to heap praise on Leicester’s Bilal El Khannouss after his display against Tanzania, with one even comparing him to the legendary Zinedine Zidane.

“El Khannouss has nothing to envy Zinedine Zidane,” @wals_77 said.

@selzysk posted: “El Khannouss too is a valid player, I hope he gonna have a good move this summer, the insane level that kid gonna come too, remember this words! We got a world class midfielder in our midst.”

“Many of us were calling for it, but if there’s one lesson and one winner from this break, it’s El Khannouss. He’s made so much progress in his physical impact and defensive retreat. Beyond his activity, he’s been good at tackling and aerial duels,” @Formfootmaroc added.

“El Khannouss c’est un cran au dessus,” @Formfootmaroc commented.

@AguerdLegacy said: “A fantastic corner from El Khannouss, expertly whipped into the box. Aguerd climbs above the crowd and heads it home with precision, giving Morocco the lead!”

“Aguerd, Belammari, Mazraoui and El Khannouss are the only good players from today,” @MazraouiBall added.

Full focus now on Leicester’s clash against Manchester City

The international break has now come to a close, so the full focus is now back on Leicester.

Foxes internationals will be making their way back to the East Midlands today ahead of the away clash against Manchester City next Wednesday.

Leicester are currently nine points adrift from safety, so they’ll need to win at least five of their remaining nine games to stand any chance of survival.

Perhaps Jeremy Monga can inspire a great escape, with the teenage wonderkid staking a real claim to start.
