Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans insists they can handle the absence of injured teammate Jamie Vardy.

Vardy was forced off with what Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers said was a glute injury late in the first half of Wednesday's 4-1 win over West Ham, with further tests conducted yesterday/on Thursday.

Tielemans said: "We know Jamie is maybe a bit different.

"Jamie has his type of play but Kelechi performed very well and has his qualities as well.

"He fits very well in the team and we have to play with his qualities.

"Kelechi is a very good striker and we can use him for the rest of the season."
