England boss expects Leicester star Vardy to act sensibly when he ties the knot

England manager Roy Hodgson is expecting Jamie Vardy to be sensible during his wedding celebrations.

The 29-year-old, who has postponed his wedding on three previous occasions, will marry his fiancée Rebekah on Wednesday.

Vardy has been excused by Hodgson from Friday's friendly against Australia but on the proviso that he keeps his nose clean after his nuptials.

"I'm really not concerned. I hope he will be sensible and I believe he will be sensible," said Hodgson.

"I know he really is desperate to be selected to go to the Euros and do a good job so I'm pretty confident when I see him on Saturday morning he will be fine.

"I'd have liked him to have rescheduled it for a bit earlier, or a lot later, than he has done. The reasons for that, I don't know, but I could guess he probably thought he would get a week to 10 days off at the end of the season, because that is what we have done traditionally."
