Leicester City face being without Ben Chilwell for the start of next season.

Chilwell may miss the start of next season due to the heel injury that has kept him out of Leicester's last three matches.

The England defender, a transfer target for Chelsea, has already been ruled out of the Foxes' remaining games, at Tottenham on Sunday and against Manchester United next weekend, and manager Brendan Rodgers cannot count on his involvement in the start of the 2020-21 campaign.

Rodgers expects James Maddison, who has a hip injury, to be back for pre-season but when asked for a timescale on Chilwell's fitness, he said: "We just need to wait and see on that.

"It's an injury that will last over a number of weeks."
