According to reports, Jamie Vardy has joined the list of players who are doubted to make a return to the English Premier League this season again the attacker who has not started any game since the 5th of March was ruled out of the season after a medical check on him. Jamie Vardy remains sidelined for Leicester City’s Europa Conference League quarter-final first leg against PSV Eindhoven.
The striker has been out since early March with a knee injury and played just 79 minutes in this calendar year. Danny Ward, Ryan Bertrand, and Wilfred Ndidi are also out with knee issues. Luke Thomas will make a return to the team after recovering from a hamstring injury, having missed his side’s Premier League draw at Manchester United on Saturday.
Leicester City head coach manager Brendan Rodgers admitted Jamie Vardy does not look “close to being back”. The manager said: “It is hard to put a timeline on it.” “He is still feeling pain within the knee.” “He can run and he is outside, but when he is striking the ball there is an issue, so we will have to get to the bottom of that.
He also said: “I will have to speak to the medical team to see where that is at, but it doesn’t sound as if he is too close to being back.”
“We won’t say no to a trophy’Rodgers was upbeat about his side’s chances of winning the maiden Europa Conference League and, in doing so, qualifying for next season’s Europa League.”It’s a possibility of a trophy which you never say no to. We’re very positive,” he said.”We know PSV have a lot of quality players and they play very well.
