Vardy Still Missing For Trotters Trip

Vardy travelled with the squad but was not involved in Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Watford, having sustained a knock against Crystal Palace seven days previously.

And Pearson doesn’t anticipate that his summer signing from Fleetwood will be available for the trip to the Reebok Stadium, which could open the door for another of the Foxes front-men.

Martyn Waghorn and Marko Futacs were both deployed off the bench at Vicarage Road and neither did their chances of earning a starting berth any harm.

“There is every likelihood of there being one or two changes, but we’ll see how the players respond,” Pearson said on Monday.

“Ritchie De Laet is available to us again and we’ll have a look at how the other players are from the weekend.

“Jamie Vardy probably won’t be available, unfortunately. He’s making progress, but not as quickly as we would hope.

“But I thought Waghorn did well when he came on (at Watford) and Futacs had an impact when he came on as well.

“We’ve got options so you’ll have to wait and see.”
