Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Wesley Fofana has fractured his leg.
The defender was stretchered off the field in the second-half of a friendly with Villarreal following a tackle from Nino.
"He fractured his fibula," the Foxes manager told the media. "Obviously, it was a horrendous injury for us and we're obviously devastated for him because he's a top-class young player, so he's going to be a huge loss for us. Our medical team were fantastic on the night.
"Our staff at the Club and all the people in the hospital really looked after him.
"He has another scan today because his ankle was so swollen we had to leave it overnight. That will give us a clearer indication of how long he's going to be out. Of course, it was a horrible injury and we were all thinking of him last night.
"We now hope Wesley will be back as soon as he possibly can be and we'll support him in that recovery."
