Rogers: Vardy could be out for three to four weeks due to a hamstring injury

Live bar December 31, Leicester City manager Rogers revealed that Vardy will be out for three to four weeks due to a hamstring injury.

Vardy, who first felt injured in his League Cup match against Liverpool last week, has now worsened. Vardy, like Evans, Serunju and Dhaka, is absent due to hamstring injuries. With Isinacho heading for the Africa Cup of Nations after Saturday's game against Norwich, Rodgers will be short of options in the forward line.

Asked about the injury, Rogers said: "Vardy will be out for the weekend and Madison should be fine. Asked how long Vardy would be out, Rogers said: "It's hard to say, it could be the next three or four weeks." ”

"Barnes just came back. He was trained today, which is good news. Bertrand may return next week. But all others have at least three weeks to go. Justin, we need to get him to play some games. He was supposed to play a game and then he took a break of about 10 days. He could have been absent for a few weeks, but he's back in training, which is good news for us. Falfana may have to wait until February. ”

At the end of the League Cup match against Liverpool, Vardy felt hamstring pain and, although not playing in the match against Manchester City, was in pain again at the end of Tuesday's win over Liverpool.

Rogers said: "This fatigue factor in intensive competitions can lead to injuries. He felt this in the League Cup against Liverpool, which affected his performance in the final half hour. We can't make any more changes. ”

"We didn't get him into the race at the weekend to give him the biggest break. He felt it the night before near the end of the game. Recovery time is difficult. Players get injured whether there's covid-19 or not, and sometimes it's just something that can happen. ”
