Leicester City defender Filip Benkovic looks to have suffered a serious injury while playing for Celtic.

The 21-year-old central defender is spending the season on loan with the Scottish Premiership side, and has become a key part of the Bhoys’ set-up.

However, according to the Scottish Sun, Benkovic could miss the rest of the season after picking up a leg injury during Celtic’s 3-0 win over Hamilton at the weekend.

Benkovic played the full 90 minutes, but it appears the extent of his injury only emerged after the final whistle.

Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers is expected to confirm the details of Benkovic’s injury ahead of their league match against St Johnstone tomorrow.

The report adds that Benkovic is set to decide whether to return to Leicester or remain with Celtic to receive treatment on the injury.

Benkovic only recently returned to the Celtic starting XI, after picking up a knee injury in the defeat to Old Firm rivals Rangers at the end of December.

He made his return in Celtic’s Scottish FA Cup tie against Airdrieonians on January 19, before featuring in back-to-back league games against St Mirren and Hamilton.
