James Maddison has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a serious knee injury.
The Leicester City midfielder suffered the injury during the team's match against Manchester United in mid-September and has since undergone surgery.
The news comes as a blow to Leicester, who were already without key players such as Jamie Vardy and Harry Maguire through injury.
Maddison was one of the club's most important players this season, contributing to their promotion to the Premier League last year and helping them reach the Europa League quarter-finals.
His absence will be felt by both his teammates and the wider footballing community.
But despite the setback, Leicester have still managed to secure a top-four finish in the league table and will now focus on securing European football next season.
It is hoped that Maddison will make a full recovery and return to action at some point in the future, but for now, the club must turn to other options in midfield.
In the meantime, it remains to be seen how Leicester will cope without Maddison, but they will need to rely on their depth and experience if they hope to continue their progress in the league and beyond.
