Leicester lost Wednesday’s match 2:4, with Kapustka coming on in the 63rd minute.
Kapustka, who will be 20 in December, put in an impressive performance for the Polish national football squad at Euro 2016 in France, playing in four of their five games in the tournament.
Leicester is said to have paid GBP 7.5 million for the Pole. Poland’s top-division Cracovia club - for which Kapustka has played over 60 matches - has not confirmed the sum.
Kapustka made his international debut for Poland in a game against Gibraltar in September 2015. (mk/pk)
