Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers dealt big injury blow after midfielder Dennis Praet is ruled out for three months after suffering hamstring issue in FA Cup third-round win over Stoke

Leicester have been dealt an injury blow with the news that Dennis Praet will be out for around three months.

The 26-year-old midfielder pulled up in the final few minutes of the FA Cup victory at Stoke after he stretched to reach a Youri Tielemans pass.

If Praet is ruled out until mid-April, he could miss a dozen or so Premier League games, two rounds in the Europa League, plus the next three rounds of the FA Cup.
