Vardy Injury - our worst fear come true!

[Fox_in_a_Box]

The fact they were stretching his leg and he came back on suggest it wasnt too serious. No way they are stretching his leg if they fear his hamstring has gone. Fingers crossed. Get in the cryo lad.

The fact he tried to run it off and was on the bench at the end not looking down would maybe suggest it isn’t too bad, might just be a strain at best. Can never be too careful with a hamstring though so don’t want to rush back if not 100% fit when Nacho is in good form. 

Agree..No Need to push it..But lets First see what the Medical Team have to say..!!

How long does a 'glute' injury keep you out for then roughly?

I've every confidence in Iheanacho should Vardy need to sit out a few games.

Brendan Rodgers: "Vardy's injury wasn't his hamstring. It was just part of his glute and I don't think he will be out for too long. It isn't serious".

[RowlattsFox]

Probably wouldn't have played at weekend anyway but will be good if we can at least get him on the bench for villa. 

[trabuch]

It was my worst fear - until Nacho decided to come good. Vardy (who, by the way is my all time favourite footballer) has not been at his best lately, and I think Nacho is a more than adequate replacement.  It will be interesting to see how him and Perez do together whilst Vardy is injured.

This. He was decent today off the bench. We've got enough goals throughout the team to not lose our minds with Vardy missing a few games.

I suffered with my gluteus  - took a couple of weeks, but I’d think the club physios will work on it better than anyone

[Bezzanator89]

You will not see Vardy in the lineup this weekend, sure Iheanacho will be a more than capable stand-in his absence.

 

I was convinced it was his hamstring, given it is quite a common injury amongst the chaotic fixture schedule. Get better soon Vards!

No idea, but it's a bit of a bum deal.

[ARTY_FOX]

Seems like he's ok. 

 

Not worried in the slightest. All the faith in the world on Iheanacho 

[Trav Le Bleu]

Worst fear?

 

We've coped without him, whereas our games without Ndidi have been difficult to say the least.

 

But Wilf's back, Vardy has a minor injury and we can probably rest him at the weekend.

 

Chill.

Stay off the bread and pasta and switch to cider and you'll be fine.

[stripeyfox]

I think he may have shat himself when volleying the ball away. That's why he was clutching his arse. 

 

[peach0000]

We’ll be fine. We’ve coped without him fine on occasions this season and expect us to carry on doing so.

He's going to have some lovely massages.

I know it was West Ham, but Nacho look great again, he’s a different player. Perez looked decent too, some lovely touches and very tidy finish for the second. 

Agreed completely about Nacho. Whilst the injury is cause for concern its not the cataclysmic blow given KI's turnaround.

I don't know, there's a massage place on the Narborough Road that they reckon is quite good.

[urban fox]

Surely the amount of strain injuries over the last couple of weeks has to be connected to the schedule over the xmas period. I have been the first to say that these are athletes and should be fit enough to perform twice a week. However, the harder you work your body the more likely this type of injury will occur and minor knocks and tweaks do not get enough recovery time and so things start to compound.

Maybe it is time to rethink winter breaks. Part of the problem is the number of international breaks which squeezes the available time for the league and cup fixtures and hence why we now get this build up of fixtures

[Stevosevic]

Confident in Nacho.

 

He's looking very sharp, quicker and up for it.

[lgfualol]

He'll be back for Chelsea I bet

Ian starts on Saturday and Hirst on the bench?
