City prepare to square off against Chelsea in the Premier League this weekend and ahead of the game, manager Claude Puel has revealed a huge boost for the Foxes by stating that Vardy could be fit to feature for the clash after the attacker missed the recent FA Cup encounter against Fleetwood Town due to a groin injury.
