Jamie Vardy ruled out for up to a month following Liverpool match

Leicester City forward Jamie Vardy has been ruled out for a month due to injury.

The former England international ended up being hurt after a tangle with Joel Matip during the Foxes' 1-0 victory against Liverpool, but he did finish the match.

Vardy was treated on the pitch, and it has now been confirmed that the 34-year-old will be unavailable in January after he aggravated his hamstring problem.

"It could be the next three to four weeks," Brendan Rodgers said to the press.

Vardy had only just returned to the team after missing the Boxing Day fixture with Manchester City for the same issue.

Leicester are currently due to play three times in January, facing Watford in the FA Cup, and then Burnley and Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League, which means Vardy could make his return on February 10 when the Foxes once again face Liverpool.
