"We were waiting for some tests to get an answer when he could be ready, but unfortunately those tests came back with news that he will be away for few weeks with a knee injury," Leicester boss Marti Cifuentes told BBC Radio Leicester.
"That is where we are at the moment. It's difficult to say if he will be available before or after Christmas, but it will be around that."
Cifuentes also said Jakub Stolarczyk could be brought back into the squad for Saturday's game against Sheffield United after a spell out with a groin injury.
"He has been feeling better," Cifuentes said. "We're going to have a discussion and make the decision."
