James Maddison has seen a specialist in London amid fears he has had a recurrence of the hip problem that required surgery last summer.
The Leicester midfielder suffered the damage during last Sunday's 2-1 win at Aston Villa, where he was substituted during the second half, and boss Brendan Rodgers revealed on Wednesday that Maddison had travelled to the capital with club doctor Bryan English for two days of assessments, including a second opinion.
'We don't believe he needs more surgery,' said Rodgers. 'It's irritable where he has had the issue before and we are getting all the information.
