Ghana defender Daniel Amartey has undergone a successful surgery and is expected to be out for 6-8 weeks.
Amartey was carried from the pitch on a stretcher after suffering the bad injury to his ankle during Leicester City's premier league game with West Ham United.
Leicester manager Puel said: "I hope it is not as a serious as we think. He will have to have an examination."
Amartey has made nine appearances for the Foxes this season, starring more at the right back position.
