Vardy out for up to 2 weeks

[peteblue]

Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy is out for up to 2 weeks to have minor groin surgery. It looks like he will miss both the FA Cup and league matches against us.

On one hand it's sad that he has had an excellent season interrupted and of course I wish no ill towards him. But on the other hand perfect timing for us as over the next few weeks when we meet them he'll be out. Let's hope we beat them in both games, get above them in the league and he comes back and scores enough to keep them one or two places below us

We cant go above them..but we'll be trailing only one point to them.

You miss understand my meaning- with him out maybe they will drop more points than us and we beat them to overtake them in the few new weeks- then stay above them

TWO WEEKS!?!?

Great time to get it out of the way really. They will probably rotate in the cup anyway and probably don't expect to win at our place in the league. Then they've got Villa which they could win with their kids. Give him a rest and get the op out of the way and he can come back fresh in time to smash Liverpool.

I like your thinking and hope that's the way Leicester see it too.

Well he's had the op so he's clearly not going to play against us. You could understand if they played a weakened side in the cup so that they could concentrate on the league.

The words "minor surgery" and "groin" just don't go together.

After Leicester City's display in the F.A. Cup I'm even more convinced that they are not going to drop away .

Really , really , really hope they win the league .

It would immense if they won, just what football needs.

I understand that sentiment and was of the same mind until last night, the way they play is not what I want to be successful there is a way to beat it but it requires you to just keep possession don't try to go forward kill the game and stop them feeding off scraps, not a game I'd want a ticket for, fortunately for them other teams try to play football so they might just do it.

Thought he was easily marshalled by our defence last night

Thought their entire team were. They weren't great at all offensively, individual errors were their main source of chances. Hugo did make a great save at one point though.

Lol fat lot of good that did us.
