Good news for Vardy, Stolarczyk - worry over Hermansen | OneFootball

Positive injury updates on two Foxes stars emerged from manager Ruud van Nistelrooy. However, the ex-Manchester United player also provided more worrying details about another important Leicester City man.

Lastly, when is Hermansen expected back? City's first-choice is suffering with a groin strain at the moment. While Stolarczyk has already shown himself trustworthy to his boss and teammates, the former remains required:
