The 35-year-old Vardy had recently returned from a hamstring injury when he sustained the knee problem in Leicester바카라s 1-0 win over Leeds in the Premier League 2021-22 on Saturday.

바카라He unfortunately got injured in the last game so he바카라s going to be out for a few weeks, which is a shame,바카라 Rodgers said. 바카라Hopefully in the next three to four weeks it responds OK. He just felt soreness the day after the game.바카라

Vardy is Leicester바카라s top scorer with 10 league goals despite the long layoff due to the hamstring issue. He made his first start of 2022 on Saturday. Leicester hosts French club Rennes on Thursday in the first leg of the last 16 in the Europa Conference League.

바카라It바카라s very frustrating, for him in particular of course, having been out for the period of time, working so hard to get back,바카라 Rodgers said. 바카라And then you see the difference he makes coming into the team, and so then for us it바카라s frustrating because you miss that level of player.바카라

Vardy scored off the bench in a 2-0 victory at Burnley on March 1. Wesley Fofana will miss the Rennes match after testing positive for COVID-19. The defender broke his leg in preseason and had been close to making his first appearance of the campaign.

The 21-year-old Frenchman signed a contract extension this week to keep him at Leicester until 2027.
