Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers admits he needs a new centre-half signing after losing Wesley Fofana to a leg fracture.
Fofana suffered the injury in the midweek friendly against Villarreal.
Rodgers said: "He fractured his fibula. So it's a horrendous injury for us and we are devastated for him. He's a top class player so he's going to be a huge loss for us. Our medical team were fantastic. They looked after him. Our trauma doctor was able to put his ankle back in place. Then he went to the hospital. He has another scan today, which he couldn't have last night because the ankle was so swollen .That will give us a clearer indication of how long he will be out for.
“It was a horrendous challenge. Wesley was really dominant in the game. He apologised straight away and then afterwards there was an apology. It's disappointing for that to happen in a pre-season friendly. It was a really good game, but that took the shine off it."
On the need for a replacement, Rodgers continued: “We're definitely light in the area. Filip Benkovic has done really well over the course of pre-season. Daniel Amartey has also done well. It's certainly something we'll look at. There will be a small group of players identified. We'll see what happens."
