Leicester City manager, Brendan Rodgers has come out to say that Kelechi Iheanacho can cover for Vardy till he returns from injury. Brendan recently revealed that even if he would surely miss the deadly forward, he surely has decent replacements in Iheanacho and Ayoze Perez.
According to him, his team has played and won games without Vardy before, so it is not really the end of the world.
He added that EPL teams can expect a difference in the way his boys will play in Jamie’s absence.
His words, “We’ve played without Jamie before and scored and won. He’s contributed to the team over these past few weeks even if he hasn’t scored”
“When you don’t have one of the top strikers in the league, it’s always going to be disappointing. It’s not overly concerning. It’s our best chance of getting him back. Ayoze Perez is a natural striker.”
“He doesn’t threaten the backline as quickly as Vardy, but he’s a great finisher. I‘ve got Kels who can offer a threat too.”
“When Vardy doesn’t play you see a difference in the way they play and effectiveness of them going forward,”
