The Egypt international suffered the injury in training ahead of the Premier League win at Tottenham earlier this month and the PA news agency understands Elneny now faces a race against time to be fit again this season. "Following an injury sustained in a recent training session, subsequent assessments have confirmed that Mohamed Elneny has a significant injury to his right knee," a club statement read. The 30-year-old is out of contract this summer but the Premier League leaders have an option to extend his deal by another year.

The Australia international has already arrived in Leicester to complete his medical. Leicester and Stoke are understood to have reached a verbal agreement, though details of the deal are yet to be finalised. The 24-year-old joined Stoke in 2016 from Scottish Premiership side Dundee United.
