Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Ricardo Pereira sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury in the 4-0 win over Aston Villa and will miss the remainder of the season.
The full-back has been one of the stars of the season for the Foxes but the Portuguese now faces the possibility of not featuring again in 2019-20, including at Euro 2020.
'We've got Ricardo Pereira who will be out for the rest of the season,' Rodgers said on Thursday.
'He had a challenge and has hurt his ACL. He's not had an operation. He's just with the medical team.
'It's a blow for us. It's an opportunity for someone else. It's a shame.
'You've just got to see how the player reacts. You're looking between four to six months. That will be the time we are expecting.'
