Jamie Vardy has been passed fit to face Chelsea.

The Leicester City striker missed the FA Cup clash with former club Fleetwood with a groin injury but is available to take on the reigning Premier League champions this weekend.

However, City boss Claude Puel will still be without captain Wes Morgan and right-back Danny Simpson with hamstring injuries.

“Vardy will be available,” said Puel in his press conference ahead of the trip to Stamford Bridge.

“No problem with Jamie. He has trained well this week and he is available for the game.”

Morgan limped off during the victory over Huddersfield on New Year’s Day and Puel said he was still unsure how long his skipper and Simpson would be on the sidelines.

“Morgan? I don’t know for the moment how long he will stay outside the squad,” said Puel “I will have some news soon, I hope good news, and I can speak about the duration of the injury.

“Simpson can run a little, not fast, so that is good news. We will see when he can come back on the team.”

Vicente Iborra (hamstring) and Christian Fuchs (illness) both missed the FA Cup third-round clash at Fleetwood but are back available to face Chelsea.

Adrien Silva picked up a knock to his ankle in his full Leicester debut at Highbury Stadium but is fit to make his first Premier League start at Stamford Bridge.
