The defender suffered a knee injury against Bristol City last weekend and faces a 12- to 16-week absence, according to the most recent Leicester City news.
Callum Doyle, a defender for Leicester City, has acknowledged having surgery to repair a knee issue.
The on-loan Man City player was substituted at halftime of last weekend’s 1-0 victory over Bristol City. Later, he was seen getting up from the ground while using crutches and wearing a brace on one knee.
Ahead of the match against Liverpool this week, City manager Enzo Maresca described the injury as ‘not good’ and said he was expecting the 19-year-old to be out for a ‘long time. The Italian has since given a further update with the timescale of Doyle‘s absence confirmed.
Maresca announced that Doyle would be out for 12 to 16 weeks during his press conference prior to the Championship game against Blackburn. The defender will remain with City during his recuperation rather than going back to his original club Man City.
We had several wingers, including Wilfred, Cesare, Kiernan, Yunus, Jamie, Kele, Abdul, Macca, Stephy, and Marc, but he was the only one in that position, therefore we were unfortunate. We’ll work to come up with a solution. JJ performed admirably against Liverpool and Bristol City. He might provide a solution.
Doyle has updated his personal social media accounts. He announced that he had surgery by posting on his Instagram stories.
