Leicester injuries: when Jamie Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi will play
Brendan Rodgers provides Leicester City injury updates on striker Jamie Vardy and midfielder Wilfred Ndidi and when they will play again for the Foxes.
Revenge was extracted by Rodgers’ men at Craven Cottage on Wednesday evening, after the Whites defeated Leicester 2-1 in late November. Ademola Lookman and
Ivan Cavaleiro did the damage for Fulham at King Power Stadium.
Though in the reserve fixture, the Premier League’s third placed team were dominant with and without the ball; James Maddison was particularly instrumental as he made two assists. While 2020/21 revelation James Justin scored a fine goal.
Happily, a rejuvenation has seemingly occurred for Kelechi Iheanacho as he netted – hopefully increasing his confidence. However, the Nigerian is still unlikely to feature for a prolonged period, for reasons I’m about to outline.
