Leicester City talisman Jamie Vardy is ‘pushing’ to be named in the starting line-up against Nottingham Forest as both teams return after the international break.
The 35-year-old is yet to get on the scoresheet this season and has found himself out of the starting XI for the last two Premier League games. Patson Daka has replaced the veteran striker in the line-up for games against Brighton and Hove Albion and Tottenham Hotspur and has been one of Leicester’s better players.
The Zambian did however return from international duty due to illness, although he should recover in time for the visit of Forest. Steve Cooper’s men travel to the King Power Stadium on Monday night.
