​Rodgers: Less than full fit Vardy in Leicester squad

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Jamie Vardy will be in the squad to face Aston Villa in Tuesday's Carabao Cup semi-final second leg.

The 33 year old picked up an injury during the Foxes' 4-1 Premier League win over West Ham on Wednesday.

Leicester travel to Villa Park with the tie finely balanced at 1-1.

"He's in the squad and we'll give it another full day," said Foxes boss Rodgers. "It's one where, if you're asking me if he's 100%, he may be 80%."

He added: "I'd rather have an 80% Jamie Vardy. He's come through the last two days on the field well - he has a part to play."
