Leicester blow as Schlupp ruled out until New Year

Leicester City will be without wide man Jeff Schlupp for up to six weeks, after the Ghanaian international was ruled out with a hamstring injury.

The versatile 22-year-old, who can play as a left-back or on the wing, missed the home victory against Chelsea last weekend.

Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri confirmed Schlupp's absence until at least the New Year.

"Schlupp is a little more serious," Ranieri said.

"I don't know how long it takes - six weeks, maybe one month."
