Leicester defender James Justin faces a long spell on the sidelines after suffering a serious knee injury in the club's FA Cup win over Brighton.
Boss Brendan Rodgers revealed the full-back, who was on the verge of England selection, had damaged his anterior cruciate ligament in the match and is expected to have surgery imminently.
It is a devastating blow for Justin, who will struggle to play again this season and his hopes of breaking into Gareth Southgate's squad for Euro 2020 now look remote.
Rodgers said: 'He was walking about after the game and we hoped he would be ok but you had to wait to get the scan.
