Torino are in talks with Leicester City about extending Dennis Praet's loan deal.

The Belgian midfielder enjoyed the first half of this season at the Italian side, where he has been on a season-long loan from City since the summer.

However, Praet broke his metatarsal in February and has been ruled out for several months. The 27-year-old is said to be "struggling" with his recovery, which will see him miss the rest of the season.

La Gazzetta dello Sport report that Torino have "asked" Leicester to sanction a second loan deal, something the Italian outlet describe as a "concrete scenario".
