The 23-year-old Nigerian was a surprise omission from the matchday squad for Wednesday's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Aston Villa.
"He might need a slight operation on Thursday," said Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers.
"It's not overly serious - hopefully going into February, he'll be fit."
