Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Ricardo Pereira has suffered a fractured leg in their EFL Cup loss to Liverpool on Wednesday.

The 28-year-old suffered a broken leg after a horror tackle from youngster Tyler Morton on the Portuguese in the quarter-final of the EFL Cup.

The full-back limped off the pitch following that nasty challenge and now it has been revealed that he could miss up to two months of football action due to that injury.
