​Puel pleased to have Leicester forward Vardy over international break

Leicester City manager Claude Puel is delighted that he can call on the services of Jamie Vardy.

The Englishman has served his three match ban and is now ready to go.

Vardy will be part of the squad as they travel to Bournemouth this weekend. He is fresh after retiring from international duty.

"I was happy to keep him for the weeks and for him to have some good training sessions," Puel said to Sky Sports.

"I hope now we can have Jamie with a good fitness to play his game because he has remained a lot of time without playing.

"I hope he can find a good rhythm and tempo in his game. I am sure he will have good mentality and desire - he is hungry - and it is good for us."
