#PLStories – #BrendanRodgers confirms #JamieVardy will be fit to play against Arsenal #LCFC #ArsenalFC

Leicester City are set to be boosted by the return of frontman Jamie Vardy for this weekend's trip to Arsenal. The Foxes were without their star striker for Sunday's 1-0 defeat by Aston Villa and he is expected to sit out the Europa League clash with Zorya on Thursday evening as well. However, boss Brendan Rodgers says Vardy should be back for this Sunday's Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium (7.15pm kick-off). "Jamie will probably miss Thursday [v Zorya]", said Rodgers. "It's a recurrence of a problem he’s had for a number of years with his calves. "This isn’t serious so we're hopeful he’ll be ready for the next league game."

In the 11 games Vardy has played against Arsenal during his career, he has scored 10 goals - including one in both games last season - and registered one assist.
