Jamie Vardy set to start for Leicester
Posted Friday, August 17, 2018 by PA
Leicester striker Jamie Vardy looks set to make his first start of the season in Saturday’s Premier League home clash against Wolves.
The England international came on and scored in last Friday’s 2-1 loss at Manchester United having returned to training earlier that week after his post-World Cup break, and Foxes boss Claude Puel has said he thinks Vardy has a “good chance” of starting this weekend.
While Caglar Soyuncu’s move to the club from Freiburg has now been completed, the Turkey defender will not be ready for the Wolves game, and Shinji Okazaki and Matty James are also currently not fit for selection.
Wolves could hand a debut to club-record signing Adama Traore.
The former Middlesbrough winger came in on the eve of the transfer deadline and did not feature in the 2-2 draw with Everton last weekend.
Leander Dendoncker was in a similar position and could also make his Wolves bow at the King Power Stadium, although Ivan Cavaleiro (back) will be missing.
