Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy confirmed the injury after the match, stating that Hermansen’s condition would be assessed further.
“Mads felt something in his leg and we decided to take him off as a precaution,” Van Nistelrooy said. “He will have a scan to determine the extent of the injury.”

Van Nistelrooy hinted that the club may look to bring in another goalkeeper during the January transfer window, especially if Hermansen’s injury proves to be serious.
“We will see what the scan shows and then make a decision about whether we need to strengthen that position,” he said.
Hermansen’s injury adds to Leicester’s growing list of concerns. The Foxes have struggled for consistency this season and currently sit 14th in the Premier League table.
