James Maddison is not expected to feature when Leicester return to action following the World Cup break with a Carabao Cup trip to Sky Bet League One strugglers MK Dons on Tuesday.
The midfielder was given last week off after England's campaign at Qatar 2022 ended at the quarter-final stage.
The 26-year-old, who did not play in the tournament, is thought more likely to return for the Foxes' Premier League clash with Newcastle on Boxing Day.
