Jamie's Vardy, vardy bad

After setting a Premier League record for scoring in 11 consecutive games, injury-hit Jamie Vardy has failed to score for a fifth consecutive match.

The 1-0 victory at Tottenham on Wednesday was secured by a rare goal from Robert Huth on Vardy's first game back from groin surgery.

"It's difficult to say (when he was last fit). It's important he continues to play," Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri said ahead of today's game against Aston Villa.

"If he doesn't train very well, it's important he keeps going to play. The match is like a training session for him.

"Jamie will start to make training sessions with us. He's getting better."
