Leicester City winger Marc Albrighton has admitted that he is frustrated with his lack of playing time this season, on the eve of the clash with his former side Aston Villa.

Albrighton joined the newly-promoted side from Villa Park on a free transfer in the summer, but he has seen his amount of playing time restricted to just a handful of appearances.

He told reporters: "It would be nice to get a run of games. For reasons I don't know it has not materialised so far, hopefully it will come off the back of this. I have spoken to the manager a few times but there are only so many conversations you can have about the same thing.

"You just have to keep your head down and hope. It is frustrating but I have to just keep on going, train hard and hopefully my chance will come."

Albrighton has made one start in the Premier League this season.
