Leicester defender Caglar Soyuncu has been ruled out for up to three months for a tear in the kidnapper.
The 24-year-old suffered the injury while off international duty for Turkey and subsequently missed Leicester’s 1-0 loss to Aston Villa on Sunday.
Soyuncu had a scan over the weekend that revealed the extent of the injury and confirmed Leicester’s worst fears.

Leicester have already lost key midfielder Wilfred Ndidi for a similar period of time, while forward Jamie Vardy was left out of Villa’s game with a calf problem. However, they did give new signing Wesley Fofana a debut after his move from St Etienne.
Manager Brendan Rodgers said: “The muscle is really good, so he could be out for three months, which is an absolute shame for him and a huge loss for us.”
