Jamie Vardy: Leicester striker out for 'weeks' with knee injury

Leicester's Jamie Vardy is set to be out for "a few weeks" says manager Brendan Rodgers after the 35-year-old striker picked up a knee injury.

The former England striker was making his first start of 2022, having been sidelined for more than two months with a hamstring issue.

"He got a knock to his knee, but hopefully in the next three to four weeks it responds OK," said Rodgers.

"He's going to be out for a few weeks, which is a shame."

Vardy is the Foxes' joint top scorer with 12 goals from 24 appearances this season.
