The 37-year-old striker, who has netted four league goals this season, missed Leicester’s 3-0 loss to Manchester United before the international break due to a back issue.
However, Vardy has participated in modified training sessions this week, leaving manager Steve Cooper optimistic about his availability.
In other updates, Patson Daka might make his first appearance of the season following ankle surgery, while Jordan Ayew and Bobby De Cordova-Reid remain doubtful. Ayew returned from international duty with a minor injury, and De Cordova-Reid is recovering from a cut above his Achilles sustained in a recent match.
Unfortunately, Leicester will have to cope without Abdul Fatawu for the rest of the season after the Ghanaian youngster suffered an ACL injury during the international break. Cooper described the news as a significant blow, emphasizing the club’s commitment to supporting Fatawu’s rehabilitation and eventual return to action.
Leicester’s injury concerns will pose a challenge as they aim to secure a positive result against Chelsea this weekend.
