Vardy was substituted with a glute injury before half-time in Wednesday's 4-1 home win over West Ham, and he came off the pitch clutching the back of his left leg after making a clearance. Leicester's medical team assessed Vardy on Thursday and it is thought the injury will not keep him on the sidelines for a significant period. Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers played down the severity of the injury following the win, insisting it was not a hamstring problem. Leicester also lost midfielder Nampalys Mendy to a knee injury just after the half-hour during Wednesday night's win at the King Power Stadium.
