Jamie Vardy: Craig Shakespeare plays down injury suffered by Leicester forward

Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare has played down Jamie Vardy's ankle scare as the Foxes' injury list grows.

The England striker was forced off in added time of Saturday's 2-0 win over Brighton at the King Power Stadium.

Vardy was limping an hour after the game and joins Kelechi Iheanacho (toe), Danny Drinkwater (thigh), Nampalys Mendy and Robert Huth (ankle) and Vicente Iborra (groin) on the treatment table.

Shakespeare takes his side to Sheffield United in the League Cup on Tuesday ahead of Saturday's Premier League trip to Manchester United but believes Vardy's issue is not serious.
