Jamie Vardy: 'I do not spend time in gym'

England striker Jamie Vardy has claimed that he 'does not go to the gym'.

Despite the rigours of the modern game, the Leicester City forward, who scored in England's 2-1 win over Wales at Euro 2016 on Thursday afternoon, does not perform strength work.

Vardy was pictured holding a can of Red Bull in France earlier this week, and the 29-year-old joked that was the last thing that he had lifted when asked about his work off the football pitch.

"The last time I lifted a weight? Probably that can of Red Bull the other day. I don't go to the gym, if I did it will slow me down. I don't go in for weights or anything like that," Vardy told reporters.

"Each and every person is different and this is my way, and I'm sure if someone else tried doing what I do then it probably wouldn't work for them. People have tried to drag me in but they've tried and not succeeded."

England currently sit top of Group B ahead of their clash with Slovakia on Monday night. Defeat, however, would open the door for either Slovakia or Wales to clinch first position.
