Jamie Vardy is set to make his long-awaited return from injury for Leicester away at Burnley on Tuesday night after two months on the sidelines... coming as a 'huge boost' to Brendan Rodgers amid their winless Premier League run

Jamie Vardy will make his long-awaited return from injury when Leicester take on Burnley at Turf Moor on Tuesday.

Vardy has been absent since December 28 with a hamstring injury but is set to return to the squad along with Ricardo Pereira, who sat out the Europa Conference League win over Randers.

James Justin is around a week away from returning, while Wesley Fofana, Jonny Evans, Timothy Castagne and Ryan Bertrand remain sidelined.

Leicester have struggled without Vardy in their ranks, failing to win any of the five Premier League games which have followed, losing three of them, and suffering a 4-1 defeat away at Nottingham Forest in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
