Leicester City youngster Josh Knight will return to the club for treatment after suffering an injury blow at Peterborough United.

The 22-year-old has been ruled out for up to five weeks after a scan revealed a muscle injury. As a result, he will return to City for physiotherapy.

Knight has played as a central defender for the Foxes age group teams, but he has impressed as a midfielder in League One, scoring twice in 18 appearances for Darren Ferguson's team.

Knight missed Saturday's 1-0 win against Burton as Joe Ward scored a stunning 30-yard volley to settle the game in stoppage time.

The win left Post third in the table with 31 points from 18 games.
