Leicester City boss Claude Puel is set to omit Jamie Vardy from his line-up for their Carabao Cup quarterfinal tie with Mannchester City.
Puel is planning to prioritise Saturday's Premier League match at Chelsea by making a number of changes to his line-up on Tuesday, including starting Vardy on the bench, even though Leicester are three games from Wembley.
Vardy, Leicester's joint-top scorer with five Premier League goals, has been managing a groin problem but returned to fitness for Saturday's match at Crystal Palace where he played the full 90 minutes against expectations, says the Daily Mail.
Puel has been advised Vardy requires some recuperation and has decided to provide it for the visit of City.
