Jamie Vardy an injury doubt for Liverpool vs Leicester City

Ruud van Nistelrooy has revealed that Jamie Vardy is an injury doubt for Leicester City’s Premier League match against Liverpool on Boxing Day.

Vardy, who has score six goals in the Premier League this season, completed a full 90 minutes in Leicester’s 3-0 defeat at home to Wolves on Sunday.

However, the 37-year-old could now miss Leicester’s trip to Liverpool on Thursday, with Van Nistelrooy claiming that the striker will be closely monitore in the next 48 hours.

‘We have to address Jamie,’ Van Nistelrooy said on Christmas Eve.

He picked up some knocks, we have to address ยูฟ่าเบท https://ufabet999.app him today and tomorrow, see if he’s ready for Thursday.

‘I don’t want to share personal medical updates of players but we have to address it.

‘It will hopefully be fine, if not, it will be a short-term issue.’

Van Nistelrooy also revealed that goalkeeper Mads Hermansen is unlikely to return for the game against Liverpool.

Hermansen was forced off at half time during the 4-0 defeat to Newcastle United on December 14 and subsequently missed the loss at home to Wolves on Sunday with Danny Ward starting in goal.

‘It’s about his development and how he improves on a daily basis,’ Van Nistelrooy said.

‘He is improving on a daily basis. We want him fit but of course, you can’t rush these things. We will see when he’s 100 per cent fit to perform for the team and I’m confident it will be in the short term, but I don’t know when.

‘We’re assessing him obviously every day. Jak [Stolarczyk] is one that has been back and playing for the Under-21s, got his first game under his belt, and we’ll make decisions in the coming days.’

Regardless of what happens between now and when he hangs his boots up, Jamie Vardy is a Leicester City legend.

Joining the club in 2012, the 37-year-old has cemented himself in Foxes’ folklore after his record-breaking 2015-2016 saw him lift the Premier League — arguably the greatest-ever sporting achievement.

However, like all good things in life, they must one day come to an end, and for Vardy, this campaign could very well be his last at the King Power.

The Saudi Pro League has been a lucrative stop for pros looking to wind down their careers, but it just wouldn’t feel right seeing Vardy lineup in colours that aren’t Leicester’s.

Dedicating the majority of his playing days to Leicester City, it wouldn’t be surprising if Vardy chose to end his fairytale career at the club that made him.
