Iheanacho: Why I like to play along with Vardy at Leicester City Leicester City centre-forward Kelechi Iheanacho has highlighted a number of reasons why he likes to play along with Jamie Vardy.
Battling some soreness Vardy was a little stiff following Sunday's match against Arsenal, but according to manager Brendan Rodgers, he's not dealing with an injury. "He just had a sharp reaction, but not...
Impact Vardy didn't get much done Sunday and a nagging issue didn't help, as he failed to take a shot against Arsenal. He's struggled to find form following a return from hip surgery, but a trip to Burnley could change that after Leicester City scored four goals in the first meeting.

Quiet again Sunday Vardy logged one inaccurate cross Sunday in a 3-1 loss to Arsenal.
Impact It marked Vardy's first Premier League game since Jan. 3 (at Newcastle) in which he failed to register a shot. Vardy reportedly kept gripping his hip during the game, but Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers seems confident that the star striker is fine. Vardy will look at getting back in form Wednesday at Burnley but could be a candidate to sit out because of the relatively easier fixture.

Quiet against Villa Vardy recorded three shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 win against Aston Villa.
Impact After scoring against Liverpool on Feb. 13, Vardy played a Europa League fixture that saw him attempt zero shots across 64 minutes. He replicated that lackluster effectiveness Sunday, as Harvey Barnes and James Maddison carried Leicester instead. Vardy will look to get back on the scoresheet next Sunday versus Arsenal.

Scores against Reds Vardy scored a goal, took five shots (three on goal), and made two tackles (won both) during Sunday's 3-1 win over Liverpool.
Impact Vardy gave Leicester the lead after a miscommunication between Alisson Becker and Ozan Kabak provided an open goal for Vardy to sweep the ball into. This was Vardy's first start in the past four matches due to injury and he should be good to go for Sunday's trip to Aston Villa.

Plays 29 minutes off bench Vardy logged 29 minutes and took one shot off target while adding two clearances in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Wolverhampton.
Impact Vardy missed three straight games with a hernia but, as manager Brendan Rodgers said last week, the star forward came off the bench and looked healthy, which is the most important thing for him right now. Despite the limited impact in this game, he should return to the starting lineup for the Feb. 13 matchup at home against Liverpool, potentially sending Kelechi Iheanacho back to the bench.

Impact It's possible Vardy comes off the bench in his first match back, easing him into minutes following a two-week absence. After Kelechi Iheanacho played well midweek, he could get another start against Wolves on Sunday, which would allow Vardy to come off the bench.

Impact Vardy has been on the pitch running and while he should be healthy enough for the squad Sunday, it may not be the best idea to start him in his first match back. After Kelechi Iheanacho played well up top Wednesday, it makes sense to give him another start and allow Vardy more rest before he starts again.

Could be fit by weekend Vardy (hernia) could be ready as soon as Sunday's trip to Wolverhampton, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.
Impact Leicester City are pushing Vardy to return as soon as possible and it looks like he'll only miss three matches despite having a hernia operation. That said, a start is far from guaranteed in his first match back, though given Leicester's attack without him, nothing is guaranteed as long as he gets in a couple days of training.

Impact Vardy may only have to miss a couple weeks of matches, as it seems like his procedure was fairly regular and it'll only keep him off the pitch a couple weeks. If all goes well, he'll be an option the first or second week in February.

Out a few weeks Vardy will be out a few weeks because he's getting an operation on his hernia, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. ""It's one that doesn't keep him (Vardy) out for too long, but...
Impact Vardy has been playing through a bothersome hip most of the season, but it's apparently bad enough that he'll miss a few weeks in the middle of the season. He's missed just one league match this season, but none of his absences were longer than a week, which makes a surgery now interesting. While Leicester have options, namely Kelechi Iheanacho, he's not the same as Vardy up front.

Takes seven shots in win Vardy took seven shots (one on target) and made a clearance in Saturday's 2-0 victory against Southampton. He also made a clearance in the match.
Impact Vardy was very dangerous on Saturday, but he wasn't very accurate with his shots. He is still looking for his first goal of 2021, and on Tuesday he plays Chelsea, which have conceded 21 in 18 Premier League matches.
