LEICESTER, England (Reuters) - A bad week for Leicester City got even worse as manager Brendan Rodgers said winger Harvey Barnes needs knee surgery and will be unavailable for six weeks.

The 23-year-old was carried off on a stretcher shortly after halftime in his side's 3-1 home defeat by Arsenal on Sunday.

"I just spoke to the doctor. That'll be a huge blow for us," Rodgers said."It's not good news. He needs an operation. "He'll be out for a minimum of six weeks. Part of the bone in his knee has come off, so he'll need it repaired.Barnes has been one of third-placed Leicester's most influential players this season and his absence will hurt them in their quest to nail down a place in the top four.

Sunday's double blow comes after Leicester were knocked out of the Europa League by Slavia Prague in midweek.
