Claudio Ranieri: 'Jamie Vardy's wrist injury will not stop him playing'

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri says that Jamie Vardy's wrist injury will not stop him playing for club and country.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has insisted that Jamie Vardy is fit enough to play, despite having a broken wrist.

The 28-year-old has been playing with a cast since breaking two bones in his wrist during the Foxes' 3-2 victory over Aston Villa on September 13.

Vardy has been included in Roy Hodgson's England squad for next week's Euro 2016 qualifiers against Estonia and Lithuania, but Ranieri has insisted that there are no issues.

"He has two broken bones but the medical staff have done very well to treat it," Ranieri told reporters. "He 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 [with England]. He deserves to be in the squad but it is up to Roy to choose the players."

Vardy has scored six Premier League goals so far this season.
