As Leicester’s injury woes increase, Jamie Vardy has been ruled out for up to four weeks with a hamstring injury.

Vardy, who turns 35 next month, had complained of a problem during last week’s Carabao Cup defeat at Liverpool and was sidelined for Manchester City’s Boxing Day match.

The striker, though, sustained the injury in Tuesday’s Premier League victory over Liverpool at Anfield.

Rodgers noted that Vardy’s injury was exacerbated by the club’s busy holiday schedule and the additional demands placed on players as a result of an increase in Covid cases.

Patson Daka is also injured and will miss the Africa Cup of Nations, while Kelechi Iheanacho is expected to fly to the competition next month, leaving Rodgers with few choices in the attacking third.

Better news for Leicester came in the form of James Maddison, who will be available for Saturday’s game against Norwich, his previous club, despite being forced out against Liverpool on Tuesday due to injury.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
