Leicester have announced Nampalys Mendy has returned to France and re-joined Nice on an initial season-long loan deal.
Mendy only left Nice to join the Foxes 12 months ago but has endured a disastrous time in the Premier League and has now secured a move back to France.
The 25-year-old was supposed to fill the void left in midfield by N’Golo Kante but his debut campaign at the King Power Stadium was blighted by injuries.
In fact, Mendy was limited to just four league appearances and 272 minutes of Premier League action for Leicester last season, having played in every league game for Nice the campaign before.
