Latest Vardy update as injured striker expected to play vs Chelsea | OneFootball

The latest injury update on Jamie Vardy has emerged for Leicester City fans ahead of the Chelsea match on Saturday lunchtime. Sadly for the Blues, some of their best players may miss the midday fixture. In fact, former LCFC manager Enzo Maresca might perhaps be without seven of his main men. While the previous update is a massive plus for the Foxes, they too have some fitness concerns before entertaining the weekend visit. One long-term injured striker is expected to play some part in the Chels clash.

Actually, Zambia international Patson Daka may even start according to one report. However, that eventuality now seems more unlikely following another piece of information on City icon Vardy. The retired England centre forward missed the defeat at Manchester United due to a back problem. Although, a welcome boost could be on hand for the east Midlands for the tough upcoming game. So, is it likely that strikers Daka and Vardy will be included in Steve Cooper's matchday squad? Let's see. And let's also briefly preview the contest.

Chelsea come to Leicester

The Blues are now a force in the Premier League once again. Typically for the points-desperate Foxes, CFC's advancement coincides with their meeting. Maresca, formerly LCFC boss and the man who oversaw their return to the top-flight promised land, makes his first comeback to King Power Stadium.

And it should be a fascinating encounter. I must admit, as a Leicester supporter the confidence for any points escapes me at the moment. But you never know what's gonna happen on Filbert Way! Nevertheless, the west London side will be gunning for victory here, you can guarantee that!

No doubt the Italian will have a cunning game plan which includes defensive stability and resistance. Though the visitors and current third-placed EPL team are set to be without at least one or two defenders. Not to mention their preeminent baller being doubtful at this point.

Foxes and Blues injury news

Cole Palmer is the prime player at the Bridge these days. He withdrew from international duty with England after Manchester United terror Lisandro Martinez chopped him for no reason. Although that is technically a bonus for City, of course.

Three prominent Chels defenders are also sidelined right now. But Cooper might perhaps be able to include both of his highest attackers. Below is the contemporary report on Vardy and Daka; this info will give the Blue Army some hope:
