Leicester City boss Rodgers backs Iheanacho to cover for injured Vardy

 The Nigeria international is considered as a replacement for the 34-year-old forward who is set to undergo surgery

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers believes Kelechi Iheanacho will provide the needed cover for the injured Jamie Vardy.


The 34-year-old attacker is set to undergo hernia surgery which will see him sidelined from action for a couple of weeks.


Vardy has been a consistent performer for the King Power Stadium outfit since teaming up with the side in 2012 from Fleetwood Town.
