Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers confirmed Wesley Fofana will have an operation on his broken fibula on Monday, after the defender was injured in a pre-season friendly against Villarreal.
Fofana was on the receiving end of a poor challenge from Spanish forward Fer Nino during the Foxes 3-2 win on Wednesday, and Rodgers revealed there was more medial ligament damage than they'd hoped for.
Speaking after Leicester's 1-0 win over Manchester City in the Community Shield, the Foxes boss confirmed the 20-year-old will be out of action until next year.
