Broken wrist will no affect Vardy- Ranieri

Despite a broken wrist, Claudio Ranieri has full
confidence in Jamie Vardy to deliver for Leicester City
and England.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri insists a broken wrist
will not stop Jamie Vardy from being effective for club and
country.

Vardy broke two bones in his wrist when Leicester beat Aston
Villa 3-2, a game that saw the forward find the net as Ranieri's
men came from two goals down to claim all three points.

The 28-year-old was on target again in a 2-2 draw with Stoke
City the weekend after that victory and scored both goals in last
Saturday's 5-2 loss to Arsenal.

Vardy already has two England caps to his name and has been
selected in the squad for the upcoming Euro 2016 qualifiers with
Estonia and Lithuania.

And Ranieri said ahead of Leicester's visit to Norwich City: "He
[Vardy] wants to play and doesn't want to stop because of
injury.

"We agree as long as he is safe, and if the referee says it is okay
then for us it is okay. He broke it when he fell to the ground
[against Villa].

"A lot of players want to play on when they feel good. It is not a
big problem for the outfield players but for the keepers it would
not be possible.

"He is in great condition and deserves to go there. He deserves
to be in the squad but it is up to Roy [Hodgson] to choose the
players.

"Vardy is very good. He is a hard worker. He presses everyone,
works the channels and the space, and he is also very calm in
his decision making.

"He has improved a lot and I am very happy with him."
