Midfielder Hamza Choudhury has been ruled out for Leicester with a dislocated shoulder.
The 27-year-old suffered the injury in training, with boss Steve Cooper unsure how long he will be sidelined for.
"It鈥檚 definitely quite a significant injury to dislocate your shoulder. Fingers crossed it's not as severe as it can be," he said.
"It was an innocuous situation. We're still working out how long he will be out because it's still settling down. Weeks or months, we're not sure yet.
"It was a normal duel, no foul. Unfortunately his shoulder ended up on the wrong side of an awkward position.
"I respect his journey and becoming the player and man he is. He is a popular guy. It's always important to have players who have come through the ranks at any club."
The former England Under-21 international is definitely out of Saturday's visit of Bournemouth, with the Foxes still looking for their first league win of the season.
They are 17th in the table and one of five winless clubs.
Cooper said: "It's the challenge for me, the players and the staff. We want to thrive in this moment. There's nothing better than coming through a difficult time. When you do you are in a much better place.
"It's not always easy to take but there's also an awareness some really important learning takes place.
"That's what I keep saying to the players. What an opportunity we have to get through this little spell, come through the other side and allow us to kick on."
