Mansfield Town to face full-strength Leicester City in big friendly
Ranieri took charge of City for the first time in pre-season away at Lincoln City on Tuesday where the Foxes recorded a 3-1 victory with goals from Riyad Mahrez, Andrej Kramarić and Jamie Vardy and their new signings Christian Fuchs, Shinji Okazaki and Robert Huth all played the opening 45 minutes.
Mansfield Town took a well-earned 1-1 home draw with Milton Keynes Dons at home on Tuesday and boss Adam Murray said he was using both fixtures to work on his side’s defending, discipline and shape without the ball.
