Manchester City youngster Callum Doyle, who is currently on loan at Leicester, faces up to four months out injured.

Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca has stated that Manchester City loanee Callum Doyle will be out for up to four months due to injury.

The 19-year-old was substituted during last weekend’s 1-0 win against Bristol City at the King Power Stadium, putting him out of the midweek Carabao Cup defeat to Liverpool at Anfield. Despite taking an early lead, the Championship table-toppers were defeated 3-1.

Doyle has been a key fixture for the Midlands outfit so far this season, meaning his long-term spell on the sidelines has robbed Maresca of a key player. Despite being a centre-back by trade, he had made the left-back berth his own at the King Power Stadium.

And with Leicester lacking left-footed options in the full-back areas, his loss is a huge blow for the Championship promotion hopefuls. Though the Foxes have not confirmed the specifics of his injury, Maresca has said that he could be out for up to 16 weeks.
