Liverpool have been handed a major boost for their game against Leicester City next month, with Jamie Vardy likely to be suspended for the match.
Vardy was sent off during Leicester’s 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, leaving him unlikely to feature when the sides meet in a fortnight's time.
The Leicester striker was penalised by referee Mike Dean after a high challenge on Matt Doherty and will now miss the Foxes’ next three games, including their home game against Liverpool on September 1.
Vardy has a fantastic record against Jurgen Klopp’s side, having scored seven goals in his last five games against the Reds.
