England and Leicester City star player Jamie Vardy is set to be out for “a few weeks” according to reports from the head coach of the club Brendan Rodgers. The 35-year-old striker picked up a knee injury in their last game which forced him out of the game. Vardy sustained the injury during Saturday’s 1-0 win over Leeds United.
The former England striker was making his first start of 2022 having been sidelined for more than two months with a hamstring injury. The manager said: “He got a knock to his knee, but hopefully in the next three to four weeks it responds OK.” “He’s going to be out for a few weeks, which is a shame.”
Jamie Vardy is Leicester City’s joint top scorer with 12 goals from 24 appearances this season. Patson Daka, Kelechi Iheanacho, Ademola Lookman, and Ayoze Perez, all of whom are fit, are the other attacking options available to Rodgers
