Midfielder Fer suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in the match at the King Power Stadium while striker Bony tore his anterior cruciate ligament after coming on as a substitute.

Fer, who has played 20 league games this season scoring one goal, was taken off on a stretcher in the first half after going down unchallenged.

Ivory Coast international Bony, a close-season signing from Manchester City, landed awkwardly just moments after coming on in the second half but he played on and left the stadium in a knee brace.

Swansea are 17th in the Premier League with 24 points, having moved out of a congested relegation zone on goal difference.
