Leicester City will have to play the rest of the season without their centre midfielder Matty James after manager Claude Puel confirmed that the 26-year-old had surgery on his achilles tendon this week.
Speaking to Leicester's official website Lcfc.com, Puel said: “For Matty James, he has had surgery on Tuesday on his achilles tendon and he will not be available until the end of the season. He will be ready for the next season."
He added: "Of course, it’s difficult but it’s a good thing because he knows what his problem is. It’s not a big problem but now he needs patience and a good recovery.
