Jamie Vardy faces another MONTH out after picking up a knee problem against Leeds - just two games after returning from hamstring injury... while fit-again Wesley Fofana will have to wait for his first game of the season after testing positive for Covid

Jamie Vardy is facing another month on the sidelines due to injury in a huge blow to Leicester's prospects of European glory.

The forward was only two games into his comeback after a damaged hamstring had kept him out of action for nine weeks, but a knee injury sustained in the 1-0 win over Leeds last Saturday means a further absence of at least three weeks.

Leicester had also been due to give fit-again Wesley Fofana his first appearance of the season against Rennes in the Europa Conference League on Thursday, but the centre-back is now unavailable after contracting Covid.
