Burnley midfielder Aaron Ramsey has opened up about his loan spell at Leicester City last season. The 23-year-old spoke to the Burnley Express ahead of his side's trip to face Norwich City at Carrow Road.
Ramsey made nine appearances for Leicester City during a loan spell in the 2025/26 campaign. The Foxes were relegated from the Championship to League One that season. "I loved it there," Ramsey said. "Obviously it wasn't a great season. Personally I didn't play many games, with the injuries I had."
How did Ramsey's loan at Leicester City go?
His time at the King Power Stadium was disrupted by a knee injury suffered in February 2024. That limited his impact during a difficult period for the club. Ramsey signed for Burnley in the summer of 2023 and has made 22 appearances for the Clarets overall. He had a positive pre-season before the current campaign and started Burnley's first two league games.
Leicester City themselves have begun the new season in 18th place in League One. They have one point from two games, with a recent form of LD. The Foxes have scored two goals and conceded three, giving them a minus one goal difference. They are already five points behind early leaders Bradford City.

What is Burnley's current situation?
Burnley are on a concerning winless run in the league. Their last victory came back in February. Since October of the previous year, they have managed only two league wins. The club was relegated from the Premier League last season. Comparisons have been drawn between Burnley's current struggles and Leicester City's double relegation.
"I'm not going to lie and say we don't think about it, we know that we haven't won in a while," Ramsey admitted. Manager Nicky Hayen's side were taken to penalties by two League One opponents in the Carabao Cup this season. Two years ago, when Ramsey was previously at Burnley, the team also started slowly under a new manager and system before results improved.
What are the injury concerns at Burnley?
Ramsey's own return from his knee problem is a boost. Fellow midfielder Josh Cullen is currently sidelined with an injury. Burnley are now managed by Nicky Hayen after the departure of previous boss Vinny Kompany. The Clarets face a tough task to turn their form around.
Leicester City's next fixture is a home game against Plymouth Argyle on September 1st. Plymouth are currently 22nd in the table. A full rundown of upcoming matches is available on our fixtures page. The Foxes will be looking to build momentum and climb away from the lower reaches of the division.
Where does Ramsey fit in now?
The midfielder is focused on contributing at Burnley after his spell with Leicester City. His experience in the Championship and now League One provides valuable perspective. Ramsey's comments highlight the challenging nature of last season for both him personally and for Leicester City as a club.
For Leicester City, the priority is improving results quickly. Their early season form has left them playing catch-up.

The match against Plymouth represents an immediate opportunity to get points on the board and start moving up the League One table.
