"James needs an operation. He probably won't play again this season. Let's see how his recovery goes, and then we'll talk.

We wish him a speedy recovery, he is an important player and we hope he comes back better and stronger.

This is a huge disappointment for all of us. Especially after he's been out for a long time and he's back to his level," Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers was quoted as saying by the BBC.
