Leicester boosted by Jamie Vardy injury news with derby match upcoming
Leicester City have have received a massive boost before playing Aston Villa, as Jamie Vardy injury news emerges from manager Brendan Rodgers.
Everton salvaged a draw versus the Foxes on Wednesday evening. Personally I think the Leicestershire outfit did enough to win, regardless of a few very good opportunities that the Toffees squandered. If Rodgers’ men could have just taken one chance, or made a few more, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
While supporters fume at the fact that LCFC have dropped 29 points from winning positions this season, life goes on. And it may just improve for the King Power team. That is because we have an update on Jamie Vardy’s fitness with preparations for Villa underway. The iconic striker will be in the matchday squad Saturday, says ‘BR’.

"“He’s looking good,” Rodgers said. “He’s joining the squad tomorrow (Thursday) for training, which is great news for us. He gives us that extra dimension at the top end of the field.”– Brendan Rodgers, Leicester Mercury"
Elsewhere, backup goalkeeper Danny Ward made his comeback at the Seagrave training base recently. Ward had endured knee problems and sadly was therefore told to undergo surgery. Third choice stopper Eldin Jakupovic took the Welsh international’s place on the substitute’s bench for the past nine of the East Midlands side’s outings. Though the former appears to be well-liked, the majority of LCFC fans do not see him as the eventual heir to Kasper Schmeichel as Foxes No.1.
What else the boss said after another predictably dispiriting Leicester City outcome
To finish – in an, I suppose, untypically honest fashion from the gaffer – Rodgers stated that European qualification from the Premier League is now probably out of reach. How insightful; most Leicester supporters knew this by Christmas. And the faithful’s conclusion was not reached mathematically, but following performances.

In addition, the ex-Liverpool boss suggests that finishing in the top half of the EPL and progression to the Europa Conference League final would suffice. Rodgers asserts this following an injury-plagued campaign, once again. Furthermore, the Northern Irishman claims the UECL is not the sole focus at present; he added that English top-flight meetings will be respected for supporters in attendance.
