Jamie Vardy will be watching on TV as the American team he co-owns - Rochester New York FC - play their first competitive match as the Leicester star follows in the footsteps of David Beckham

Jamie Vardy will be watching nervously in front of his television on Saturday night as the club he co-owns play their first competitive match under his guidance.

Following David Beckham into club ownership in the US, the Leicester forward bought a minority stake last year in US club Rochester New York FC, who begin life MLS Next Pro – a new feeder league for Major League Soccer – with an away game against St Louis, in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The match represents a tough test for Rochester, against one of the strongest teams in the competition.
