Leicester boss Rodgers eases Vardy injury fears

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has eased injury fears for Jamie Vardy.

Vardy appeared to collect a hamstring injury during their 4-1 rout of West Ham.

But Rodgers said, "It is not his hamstring which is good. Hopefully over the next couple of days it will ease off and he will be fit.

"Jamie is a real talisman for the team but if we are going to have success it is about the team.

"He hasn't played for us in a number of games and the team has still played well but of course we want him fit and well. He is such a good player and we hope it is not too serious."

On the win, he added: "I thought we were very good this evening.

"I thought we played with that authority in the game and personality that the team has played with all season. Tempo was good, pressed well."
