Looks like he's suffered a sore 1, stretcher & paramedics on almost straight away. Could be out for a long spell.

Aww feck that's a nasty break.
Tweet says it all. What the feck was he playing at tackling like that?
The tackler made sure to sweep his leg right round to make a scissor contact
Sickening. Who the hell made that tackle?
Feck thats a cold Stoke Tuesday night tackle if ever I saw one. Ridiculous for a friendly
Fecking hell 
That's awful for any player but especially one with as much potential as him. Gonna be a big miss for Leicester

Sell them Bailly for 80 Million
Was intentional. Fofana had caught him on the heel 5 minutes prior and he was pissed off about it.
100% a revenge tackle.
Evans is still injured I think. Once again we might be starting a season with ndidi at cb. Ffs just cannot catch break with injuries.

That's a fecking awful challenge, disgraceful.
Any news on how bad the injury is yet?
Always horrible to see an injury, especially for no good reason like that idiotic challenge, but it’s a little worse when you feel like the player’s on the cusp of really progressing to the next level. Similar feeling to Neto and Eze’s recent injuries.
Hope he’s back soon.
Hope he’s back soon.
You can chop "in a preseason friendly" part off the tweet. Two footed scissors are cowardly and dangerous. They should never happen.
What kind of bastard tackle is that in a friendly, I’m raging for Fofana!
That looks like a broken ankle, right? Poor guy 
Who’s the guy doing the pincer tackle?
well you can see his leg broken in two so unless he has a remarkably quick recovery like the chap at Everton you're looking at him out for the season
Nino. Dirty fecker. Awful tackle. Went on to score a goal then too
Looks like ligament damage to me, no need for challenges like that in football
Disgusting. The kid's only 20 as well.
The more I look at it he should get a long ban totally went for the ankle an awful challenge..
That's a nasty tackle.
Awful tackle that. No place in the game whether a friendly or cup final. Nino is a dirty coward for that, no intention to play the ball whatsoever.
Hope Fofana can come back from the injury at 100%. Looked a nasty break and you always worry how well the injured area can recover. He's a player with immense potential and hopefully his age counts for him in this situation. Get well soon, Wesley.

fecking Villareal.
Crazy tackle for competitive game much less a nothing friendly
Sorry for the kid, hope he comes back stronger. Another reason why a contract work both ways.
that's fuking awful....i hope he recovers but i hope more that one of his mates fuking did that guy for what he did to Fofana
what club were they playing?
what club were they playing?
Yeah to do that in any game is awful but in a feckin friendly.
I really hope that's the case. But I don't have faith in UEFA banning a player for a string of competitive games following a friendly red card. Would love to be proven wrong.
Wasn't even a free kick.
Our friends Villarreal.
The full game was shown on YouTube so if anyone is desperate for football it's there to rewind and watch.
I could barely watch it once in the OP's tweet.
Seeing lots of people saying he got the ball though. Reminds me of that thread in the Euros with Ukraine and Switzerland
Yip. What a tw@t. Surprised a Leicester player didn't deck him.
Haha, yeah fair enough. Plenty of goals though if anyone is having football withdrawal symptoms.
I can only echo what others are saying about that being a fecking ridiculous tackle to make in any match let alone a meaningless friendly.
Christ, poor lad. What a disastrous tackle, so unnecessary.
Reminds me of Luke Shaws one a bit. 20 years old, off the back of a really impressive season and on the cusp of really making his breakthrough as a top, top player.
Hopefully it won't take Fofana as long to recover as it took Luke. Horrible, needless hack of a tackle.

Interesting that just a few minutes before, Fofana took down one of theirs
edit: Actually it was the same guy getting him back
