Leicester City's forward, Kyle Ismaac, has sustained a serious injury and is likely to be out for several weeks.
The news was confirmed by the club on Friday afternoon, with Ismaac suffering an ankle injury during training earlier in the week. The severity of the injury is yet to be determined, but it is believed to be a significant one that will require medical attention.
Ismaac's absence from the squad will be a big blow to Leicester City, who are currently in the middle of a strong run of form. The 22-year-old has been a key player for the team this season, scoring four goals and providing two assists in his nine appearances so far.
His injury comes at a crucial time for the club,Primeira Liga Hotspots as they look to secure a top-four finish and potentially qualify for European competition. With Ismaac unavailable, Leicester will need to find a replacement striker to fill his shoes.
While the club will undoubtedly miss Ismaac's contribution, they can still rely on their other forwards to step up and fill the void. Jamie Vardy, who scored twice against Burnley last weekend, will certainly be looking to make up for the loss of Ismaac.
However, the longer Ismaac is out, the more difficult it will become for Leicester to compete at the highest level. It remains to be seen how long he will be out and whether he will be able to return to full fitness in time for the end of the season.
