Jamie Vardy’s recovery from a groin issue remains uncertain as Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca indicated that the striker will be “out for a while” according to BBC Radio Leicester. Vardy missed the recent game against Leeds due to an injury sustained during training, with Maresca unable to provide a specific timeline for his return. The news is disappointing for the team, especially given Vardy’s recent outstanding performance, having scored five goals in his last five appearances. While City has other strikers to rely on, including Patson Daka and Tom Cannon, Vardy’s absence will undoubtedly be felt. In more positive news, Jannik Vestergaard will be available for the FA Cup match against Bournemouth despite receiving a suspension in the latest Championship game. However, Harry Winks and Ricardo Pereira will need to tread carefully in the upcoming league fixtures, as they are both on eight yellow cards and face the risk of a two-match ban if they accumulate another booking. The FA Cup also carries its own disciplinary consequences, with Tom Cannon currently the only City player at risk of suspension.
