Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers faces a defensive headache after confirming defender Caglar Soyuncu could be out for up to three months with an abductor problem.
Rodgers said Soyuncu picked up his injury on international duty with Turkey and faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
"Soyuncu is more serious in terms of the muscle is right off the bone, so he could be up to three months, which is an absolute shame for him," Rodgers added.
To add to Rodgers' problems, striker Jamie Vardy is still nursing a calf injury and is unlikely to recover in time for Thursday's Europa League meeting with Ukrainian side Zorya Luhansk.
"Jamie will probably miss the European game and hopefully he'll be OK for our next league game. It's just a recurrence of what he's had over the last number of years," Rodgers said following Sunday's 1-0 Premier League defeat by Aston Villa.
Leicester, fourth in the league with nine points from five matches, face Arsenal on Sunday.
