Speculation that the former Northern Ireland international centre-back may be recalled by the Foxes because of impending suspensions at the Walkers Stadium have been dismissed by Potters boss Tony Pulis.
"That will not be the case. We have Gerry on a month's loan and the rules say he cannot be recalled during that first month," he told the clubs official website.
"He remains with us and will be available for the Christmas and New Year games, which we were delighted about."
