    Leicester City's trip to Austria has no doubt been a success for Marti Cifuentes.

    However, the final day of the camp will have left the new Foxes boss with some questions he needs to find the answer to.

    The defeat by FC Koln in Graz highlighted the fact that the Foxes are not yet fully symbiotic with the Catalan's style. They struggled to adapt to a different tactical idea from the German side - and it proved to be their downfall as they fell to a 3-1 defeat.

    That was a sentiment echoed by both Cifuentes and goalscorer Kasey McAteer, who admitted more work on the training pitch is needed to fully implement the new philosophy.

    However, the general mood around the camp has been lifted entirely following last season's relegation from the Premier League. Cifuentes has instilled a confidence and has been fierce in his methods of doing so.

    He will not settle for anything less than best - from his players or himself.

    The Foxes, now back on home soil, have plenty of work to do to get them ready for the beginning of the new Championship season.

  24. Bouncing back is Foxes' main target - Okoli

    Leicester City defenders Caleb Okoli and Ben Nelson feature on the latest edition of BBC Radio Leicester's When You're Smiling podcast.

    The pair sit down to talk to Owynn Palmer-Atkin at Leicester's pre-season training camp in the town of Stegersbach in Austria.

    Okoli, 24, is in his second season with the Foxes after moving to the King Power Stadium from Italian club Atalanta in the summer of 2024, while 21-year-old Nelson is back with Leicester ahead of their return to the Championship after spending last season out on loan at Oxford United.

    Both player have outlined their desire to help get the 2015-16 Premier League title winners back to the top flight after promotion from the Championship in 2024 was immediately followed by relegation.

    "Everybody knows we need to bounce back and that is our main target," Okoli told BBC Radio Leicester.

    "Everyone knows that Leicester City belongs to the Premier League for the history of the club and everthhing they have achieved."
