Jamie Vardy has impressed in training at Leicester City ahead of Monday night's clash with Nottingham Forest.

Leicester's all-time top scorer of the Premier League era has yet to find the net this term and started each of the last two games on the bench, with Patson Daka and Kelechi Iheanacho preferred.

Bottom-of-the-table Leicester have taken just a single point from their opening seven fixtures, with Forest just one place and three points better off.

Manager Brendan Rodgers was under significant pressure after consecutive 5-2 and 6-2 defeats to Brighton and Tottenham respectively, yet now seems certain to be in the dugout on Monday.

With the Foxes at home in such a decisive game, Vardy is a strong contender to return to the starting XI - especially against a Forest defence that is nearly as porous as Leicester's, says the Daily Mail.
