Blow for Leicester as Vardy leaves West Ham match with hamstring injury

Leicester City suffered a potentially damaging injury blow as star forward Jamie Vardy had to leave Wednesday's match against West Ham with a hamstring problem.

With the Foxes up 1-0 and the first half coming to a close, Vardy signalled to the Leicester bench that he was experiencing discomfort in his hamstring after clearing the ball out of his own penalty area.

The 33-year-old received treatment on the sidelines and attempted to play on but was unable to continue and was replaced by Kelechi Iheanacho in the 43rd minute.

Vardy's injury was actually the second suffered by a Leicester player on the night, with an injured Nampalys Mendy replaced by Wilfried Ndidi 10 minutes before Vardy was taken off.
