Leicester-Man City talking points<\/strong><\/p>\n

Five talking points as Leicester hold Manchester City to a draw at the King Power Stadium<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Belgian defender has started just eight Premier League games this season and was forced off in City’s 4-1 win over Sunderland at the weekend just 10 minutes after coming on as a substitute.<\/p>\n

“Vincent has an injury, second degree on his calf so we’ll see how many weeks he will be out, I don’t think less than three or four weeks,” Pellegrini said.<\/p>\n

“It is not the same injury – the same calf – but in a different part.<\/p>\n

“I am not a doctor but normally with a muscle injury less than three or four weeks is very difficult, especially on the calf.”<\/p>\n
