Leicester City have been dealt a significant blow as club legend Jamie Vardy has been ruled out of action due to an injury sustained during training earlier this week.
The 37-year-old striker, who has been pivotal to Leicester’s success over the past decade, is understood to have suffered a muscular issue. While the club has yet to release an official timeline for his recovery, initial assessments suggest he could be sidelined for several weeks.
This setback comes at a critical time for the Foxes as they aim to maintain momentum in their push for promotion back to the Premier League following their relegation last season. Vardy, who has scored over 170 goals for the club since joining in 2012, remains a key figure both on and off the pitch.
Manager Enzo Maresca expressed his disappointment but remained optimistic about the team’s ability to adapt. “Jamie is an incredible leader for this team, and his absence will be felt. But we have a squad full of talent and belief, and we’ll pull together during this period,” Maresca said in a press conference.
Vardy’s injury means the likes of Kelechi Iheanacho and new signing Tom Cannon will be expected to step up in his absence. Fans will be hoping for a speedy recovery as the Foxes look to secure a swift return to the top flight.
More updates on Vardy’s condition and Leicester’s plans moving forward are expected in the coming days.
