“He’s got a tear in his adductor muscle.He’s out for a number of weeks.

“I’m not going to rule him out for the rest of the season, but it’s going to be tough to get him back. Hopefully, we can.

“It’s a blow. He came on at half-time against Man City and did ever so well. He played really well in the Wolves game as well. He scored the penalty and created chances.

“His all-round displays have been really good, so it’ll be a loss, but it’s an opportunity for others.”

Leicester City will face Everton in their next Premier League game on Monday.
