Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca has given an update on the fitness of Ghana international Fatawu Issahaku.
The Black Stars winger recently joined the Foxes from Sporting Lisbon in search of more playing time.
Since his arrival, Issahaku has made two appearances for the club, coming on as a substitute against Hull City and Southampton FC.
Prior to his move to England, the Ghanaian youngster had not played full matches except during the AFCON U23 Cup of Nations.
Ahead of their trip to face Norwich City, Maresca revealed that Fatawu Issahaku, along with Stephy Mavidi and Yunus Akgun, arrived at the club without being in 100 percent fit condition.
“The only thing I can say is that Stephy Mavidi, Yunus Akgun and Abdul Fatawu, all of them arrived here not 100 per cent fit. In terms of Yunus, he came to a different country with a different tempo. After three or four days, he said it’s completely different from Turkey,” said Maresca ahead of Wednesday’s game.
“But it’s the same in Italy and Spain. For Abdul, exactly the same. He played 90 minutes for the last time in June. You can see that he has something good. He hit the post against Hull. He lost some balls but sometimes you can see in one vs. one that he is very dangerous.
“But he needs, step by step, to improve. And hopefully they will all be at 100 per cent and then we can decide. The only thing I can say is that when you want to reach something important, you need 20 players.”
