Leicester City defender Ben Nelson has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after it was confirmed he will not return to action in the final weeks of the campaign.
The setback is a significant blow for Leicester as they continue their fight in the closing stages of a difficult season, with squad depth already stretched by injuries and suspension issues across the pitch.

Nelson has been part of the club’s long-term defensive plans and his absence will now force the coaching staff to adjust their options in the back line for the remaining fixtures.
While no detailed timeline has been disclosed, the focus will now turn to his recovery and preparation for next season as Leicester look to rebuild and respond to their current situation.
Supporters will be disappointed by the news, with Nelson regarded as one of the promising young defenders at the club, and his absence seen as another setback in what has been a challenging campaign for the Foxes both on and off the pitch.
Further updates are expected from the club medical department in due course as they assess recovery progress and plan for pre-season involvement.
For now, Leicester must cope without him as they attempt to finish the season strongly and avoid further setbacks in the final matches ahead this campaign period.
