(Reuters) - Leicester City's Ghana winger Abdul Fatawu will miss the rest of the season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury while on international duty, the Premier League club's manager Steve Cooper said on Thursday.

Fatawu's injury came in Ghana's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Angola on Friday after the 20-year-old had featured in all 11 league games for City this season.
