Records return Vardy (knee) played 19 minutes during a 0-0 draw Saturday versus Aston Villa.

Impact A knee injury forced Vardy to sit out the Leicester City team's previous six Premier League games. So on Saturday, he logged his first appearance since March 5. Fantasy managers should expect Vardy to be the team's primary striker. Unfortunately for Kelechi Iheanacho and Patson Daka, they will receive less playing time again.

Aston Villa snaps losing streak with 0-0 draw at Leicester

On bench Saturday Vardy (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Vardy is back in the squad Saturday after missing the last month and a half with a knee injury. He hasn't been truly healthy since December, so he'll likely be worked back slowly and will hopefully get minutes Saturday or even Thursday in UECL. Patson Daka is starting against Villa and Kelechi Iheanacho also has a chance to come in before Vardy.

In contention versus Villa Vardy (knee) could be an option against Aston Villa on Saturday. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, He's trained with the squad. Hopefully he'll be back involved tomorrow (Sat...

Impact Vardy has missed 11 of the Foxes' last 13 contests while dealing with injuries but could be back in action Saturday. When fit this year, the forward has racked up 10 goals on 42 shots (18 on target) in 22 appearances across domestic and European competition. As such, Vardy should be capable of offering top-end fantasy value if he starts versus Villa.

Receives knee injection Vardy received an injection into his knee Tuesday, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "We'll see over the course of the next week what affect that brings and hopefully it can be...

Impact Vardy appears at least another week away from a return, if not more. He still isn't training, which isn't a good sign and the amount of matches he can appear in continues to wane. The good news for Leicester is that Patson Daka and Kelechi Iheanacho have been viable replacements up front in both league and UECL.

Still struggling with injury Vardy (knee) will miss Thursday's UEL match and doesn't have a timeline to return, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "It's hard to put a timeline on it. He's still feeling pain...

Impact It's not an overly positive update on Vardy, who has been out a month with the injury. There's a chance he misses a couple more weeks, especially since he's having a problem when striking the ball. Fortunately for Leicester, they have forwards in Kelechi Iheanacho and Patson Daka, who have both performed well at times this season.

Still sidelined Saturday Vardy (knee) will remain on the shelf ahead of Saturday's matchup with Manchester United. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "We'll see [about Vardy], day by day really. He's...

Impact It seems like Vardy is at least trending in the right direction even if he won't be in contention versus Man United. Whenever the forward is restored to the squad, he will almost certainly reclaim his place in the starting XI, though he may be eased back into action with a substitute appearance or two given his extended layoff.

Out multiple weeks with new injury Vardy will be out for "a few weeks" after sustaining a knock to his knee in the 1-0 win against Leeds, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact It's yet another injury for Vardy, who made a splash in the win at Burnley and then probably started a tad too soon following his hamstring injury in the win against Leeds. Now, he'll face more time on the sidelines with a new injury, likely leading to more starts for Patson Daka.

Burnley loses 2-0 to Leicester, stays in EPL relegation zone

MARCH 1, 2022 • Associated Press

Scores goal, assist against Burnley Vardy subbed into Tuesday's match against Burnley in the 72nd minute, and he scored a goal and recorded an assist in the 2-0 victory.

Impact Vardy made the difference off the bench in his first appearance of 2022, setting up fellow substitute James Maddison's winning goal and then sealing the result himself with a header in the 90th minute. Vardy has started just one of Leicester's last 10 Premier League games going back to early December due to first an ankle injury and then a hamstring injury, but he was back as a substitute on Tuesday and he proved crucial in getting the result against Burnley.

Will be in squad Tuesday Vardy (hamstring) will be in the squad for Tuesday's match against Burnley, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "He's looked sharp in the few days' training he's had so he'll com...

Impact Vardy will be an option off the bench Tuesday, but there's no guarantee he'll see minutes, depending how the contest goes. No matter, it's a great sign for the striker and he could be back in the starting XI in the coming weeks, taking over for Patson Daka, who has seemingly taken the backup role from Kelechi Iheanacho.

Edging closer to return Vardy (hamstring) is seven to 10 days away from a return, manager Brendan Rodgers revealed after Sunday's loss to Wolves.

Impact It's a positive update on Vardy, who could be in the squad as soon as the March 1 trip to Burnley. He's been out an extended period, so he'll need to work on his fitness, but it looks like he's getting there and should be full go come March.

FEBRUARY 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Working way back to fitness Vardy (hamstring) is "on the field" and "running," according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "He's probably a couple of weeks away, 10 days to two weeks."

Impact Vardy was given an initial timeline of March and it looks like that's still the case. He could return to training in 10 days, but it's hard to see him pushing to return for that Feb. 27 contest against Chelsea. It's more likely he takes the full two weeks to get back his fitness and return once March hits.

Jamie Vardy out until March amid Leicester injury woes

Leicester says striker Jamie Vardy’s hamstring injury will keep him out for up to two more months

JANUARY 7, 2022 • Associated Press

Out until March Vardy is set to be out until March with a hamstring injury, confirmed manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact This is not the update Leicester fans were hoping for, especially with Kelechi Iheanacho away at AFCON and Patson Daka also injured. They'll have some questions over the next couple weeks and Rodgers will try his best to fill the prolonged absence of Vardy up top.

Facing 3-4 week absence Vardy (ankle) is expected to miss 3-4 weeks due to a hamstring injury. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "It depends, it could be the next three to four weeks (for Jamie Vard...

Impact After Tuesday's contest, Vardy was reportedly dealing with an ankle issue but it appears is dealing with a more significant hamstring problem. With Vardy facing an extended stint on the sidelines, Kelechi Iheanacho should see an increase in starts and could offer solid top-half fantasy value.
