Leicester striker Jamie Vardy won't consider England return

Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has no plans to end his international retirement.

The Daily Mail says Vardy is 'highly unlikely' to make an England return because the Leicester striker is still unhappy about the lack of chances he was given at international level.

The 33-year-old retired from England duty after the 2018 World Cup. But Vardy — the Premier League's leading scorer with 17 goals — has been linked with a return following injuries to Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford.

Those close to the situation say he is unconvinced about a U-turn after his England career was hampered by a lack of opportunities.

England manager Gareth Southgate has limited options for the central striker role with Kane and Rashford out for around three months, and Euro 2020 warm-up matches against Italy and Denmark to come.
