Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers expects Jamie Vardy to return from injury for Tuesday's League Cup semifinal second leg at Aston Villa.

Vardy missed the club's FA Cup fourth-round win at Brentford on Saturday after suffering a glute injury during last week's win against West Ham.

It was initially feared Leicester's 17-goal leading scorer could be sidelined for several weeks.

But Rodgers revealed on Monday that the 33-year-old was fit enough to be involved at Villa Park as Leicester try to book a Wembley final date with Manchester City or Manchester United.
