Jamie Vardy Sidelined for Two Months with Hamstring Injury

Jamie Vardy faces eight weeks on the sidelines with a hamstring problem as Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers struggles to juggle his resources in an injury-ravaged season. He doesn’t need an operation and that was the only good news from it.” Leicester have had three Premier League matches postponed in recent weeks, two of which were called off because they were unable to field a team due to injuries and a coronavirus outbreak. The FA Cup holders begin their defence of the trophy at home to Watford on Saturday but Rodgers’ side is severely depleted by injuries and the absence of players at the Africa Cup of Nations. Rodgers could have as few as eight senior outfield players to call upon this weekend with Jonny Evans, Patson Daka, Caglar Soyuncu, Luke Thomas, Boubakary Soumare and James Justin joining Vardy on the sidelines.
