Patson Daka back in contention for Rennes clash

Striker Patson Daka is poised to start Thursday night’s Leicester City’s Europa Conference Cup clash against French Ligue 1 side Rennes.

Brendan Rodgers will be without the influential Jamie Vardy and defender Fofana.

Vardy will be out for close to four weeks with a knee injury.

Vardy sustained the injury during Saturday’s 1-0 win over Leeds.

The former England striker was making his first start of 2022, having been sidelined for more than two months with a hamstring issue.

“He got a knock to his knee, but hopefully in the next three to four weeks it responds OK,” said Rodgers.

“He’s going to be out for a few weeks, which is a shame.”

Vardy is the Foxes’ joint top scorer with 12 goals from 24 appearances this season.

Daka has 10 goals in all competitions.
