Leicester striker Jamie Vardy doubtful for West Ham clash
Posted Saturday, October 27, 2018 by PA
Jamie Vardy is a doubt for Leicester’s clash with West Ham as he battles a stomach bug.
The striker came off late in the 3-1 defeat at Arsenal without the Foxes being able to replace him and only returned to training on Thursday.
Skipper Wes Morgan remains banned and Matty James (Achilles) is out but Demarai Gray has returned to training with squad.
West Ham will be without winger Andriy Yarmolenko for at least five months following Achilles surgery.
The Ukraine international, a summer signing from Borussia Dortmund, was forced off during the defeat to Tottenham and after an operation is set for an extended spell on the sidelines.
Midfielder Pedro Obiang (calf) should be back for next week’s Carabao Cup tie while forward Andy Carroll (ankle) is also stepping up his recovery. Winston Reid, Carlos Sanchez and Manuel Lanzini (all knee) are still sidelined, along with Jack Wilshere (ankle).
