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 after hamstring surgery Evans underwent surgery on his hamstring and will be out until April, confirmed managed Brendan Rodgers.

Impact It's another downer update for Leicester and especially Evans, who was recently back from his plantar fasciitis issues. Leicester's back line has some massive absences and there's a chance they bring someone else in this transfer window, especially given the update on Evans.

Sidelined three weeks Evans (hamstring) will be out for three weeks with a hamstring injury, according to Jamie Thorpe of talkSPORT.

Impact Evans will be sidelined for around three weeks as he recovers from a hamstring injury. The defender is a big miss for the already heavily injured Leicester defensive unit. Wilfred Ndidi may be pushed backed into a center-back role with so many defenders out.

Late test for Man City Evans (hamstring) is considered a late-fitness test for Sunday's match against Manchester City, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact Evans usually plays through injuries, so there's a decent chance he's in the XI Boxing Day. The problem is that he plays through injuries and often re-injures himself mid-game because he returned too soon. While it wasn't a bad hamstring injury, it's a wonder if Leicester hold him one match to start him home against Liverpool a couple days later.

May only miss one match Evans (hamstring) will miss Thursday's match against Tottenham but has a chance to return for the weekend, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "The scan's come through as best as...

Impact Leicester have a bit of a crisis on their back line and it seems like Evans could push through his injury to start this weekend. That seems like a bad idea and for now, defensive midfielders like Wilfred Ndidi and Boubakary Soumare may be asked to feature at center-back Thursday with Caglar Soyuncu also out.

Comes off injured against Newcastle Evans was subbed out of Sunday's victory against Newcastle United in the sixth minute after suffering an injury.

Impact Evans was replaced by Boubakary Soumare on Sunday as center backs Jannik Vestergaard (illness), Wesley Fofana (leg), and Daniel Amartey (illness) are all out as well. Evans will hope his injury isn't serious enough to further shorten Leicester's options at the position.

Nets rare goal Evans scored once on one shot during Wednesday's two-all draw with Southampton.

Impact Evans scored his first- and likely only- goal of the season during Wednesday's clash. The big center-back isn't much of an offensive, or fantasy threat, and isn't worth chasing moving forward. He will be tested Sunday, away against Aston Villa.

Assists against Watford Evans assisted one goal from two chances created, took one off-target shot, made seven tackles (five won) and one clearance in Sunday's 4-2 win over Watford.

Impact Evans assisted James Maddison's opener in the 16th minute and also led his side in tackles during the home win. That was his first assist in the season. The centerback will now visit Southampton on Wednesday.

Good to go Sunday Evans is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match with Watford.

Impact Evans missed out midweek for the Foxes but returns in time to start on Sunday. The defender takes up a role in the center of the Leicester defense for Sunday's Premier League clash with Watford.

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to start Sunday Evans missed the midweek match with a thigh problem, but manager Brendan Rodgers believes the defender will be fine for Sunday against Watford. "He's felt it from time to time over...

Impact Evans had started eight-straight matches for Leicester following his plantar fasciitis injury, so it's not surprising that he's dealing with another issue. Some rest will help, but the hope is that he doesn't make the injury worse. He's been Leicester's best defender this season, but if he can't go, there's a chance Jannik Vestergaard moves back into the XI or Leicester use a four-man back line with Daniel Amartey similar to Thursday's UEL game.

Good to go Sunday Evans is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match with Brentford.

Impact Evans is good to go despite playing through a foot injury the past few matches. The defender takes up a role in the Leicester back line for their Premier League clash with Brentford.

OCTOBER 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Playing through foot injury Evans is expected to remain in the squad against Brentford on Sunday despite dealing with a foot injury. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "Overall, he's recovered well thus...

Impact While fantasy players will want to monitor Evans' status ahead of kickoff Sunday, it doesn't;t appear as though the defender will miss any additional time. Including the mid-week UEL clash, it could be Evans' third starting in the last eight days, so he may not go the full 90 minutes if he is still working through an injury.

Starts, leaves with cramp Evans went 88 minutes before being subbed off with a cramp in Saturday's 4-2 win against Manchester United. According to manager Brendan Rodgers, "He had a little bit of cramp and...

Impact The good news is that Evans had no reaction from his foot injury over the weekend, so it looks like things are good -- for now. It's been a constant battle with plantar fasciitis since the end of last season and while things seem good now, there's no guarantee he'll begin stringing together starts.

OCTOBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back in starting XI Evans (foot) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Manchester United.

Impact After a bit more rest, Evans is in the starting XI Saturday in a match Leicester opted to return to a three center-backs in. The hope for Evans is that he can go a full 90 and feel well enough to start again in seven days, though playing on his plantar fasciitis has not resulted in good things in prior appearances.

OCTOBER 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Could play Saturday Evans (foot) is nearing a return to action and might be ready to play against Manchester United on Saturday. Manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "Unfortunately, it meant he was...

Impact Evans' last appearance for the club came against Napoli in a Champions League clash Sept. 16. Considering the defender made 33 starts for the club last year, he should be a near-lock for a central defensive role once given the all-clear. With Jannik Vestergaard (undisclosed) questionable versus United, it could be a perfect time for Evans to step back onto the pitch.

OCTOBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Foot injury remains problem Evans isn't traveling for Thursday's UEL match because of his ongoing foot injury, according to manager Brendan Rodgers.

Impact This isn't too surprising for Evans, who went the full 90 in Cup play a week ago and then stayed on the bench in the league game against Burnley. This will probably be a problem all season unless Evans can take some magic pills to help him forget about the pain.

Plays full 90 in Cup win Evans (foot) went the full 90 in Wednesday's Cup win against Millwall.

Impact Evans made a quick return from his nagging foot injury and surprisingly went the full 90. It's a great sign for the center-back, who probably isn't out of the woods just yet. At this point, he maybe shouldn't start twice in one week, but it at least looks like he's ready to contend for starts again.
