Leicester City's Ricardo Pereira is awaiting results on a scan after the Portuguese star went off injured at half time during the Foxes Europa League defeat to Zorya Luhansk

Ricardo Pereira is awaiting the results of a scan on a thigh injury sustained in his first game in nine months for Leicester.

The Portugal star was due to play 75 minutes against Zorya Luhansk on Thursday after recovering from the cruciate knee ligament injury he suffered in March, but was taken off at half-time and has been sent for a scan.

It is another setback for Pereira, who was one of the players of the season before he damaged his knee against Aston Villa on March 9, the final Premier League game before lockdown.
