Just In 🚨🚨: Leicester City have confirmed Jamie Vardy will be at the club in the coming days and revealed the reason that will bring him back to the King Power Stadium.

Leicester City have confirmed that Jamie Vardy will return to the King Power Stadium for Saturday’s anniversary match, although the club legend will not be involved on the pitch.

The former Foxes captain is expected to be in attendance as part of the celebrations marking one of the most memorable periods in Leicester’s history.

Supporters had been hoping to see Vardy pull on the shirt once again for the occasion, but the club has now made it clear that he will only be watching from the stands.

Despite not featuring in the match itself, Vardy’s presence is still expected to be one of the highlights of the day for Leicester fans. Few players are more closely connected with the club’s greatest achievements, having played a leading role in the remarkable Premier League title triumph in 2016.

His return to the King Power is likely to spark an emotional reception from supporters, particularly given the difficult period the club is currently enduring following relegation to League One.

Leicester have been preparing a number of tributes and celebrations for the anniversary event, with several familiar faces from the club’s modern era expected to attend.

For many supporters, however, seeing Vardy back at the stadium — even from the stands — will be the moment that means the most on an emotional afternoon in Leicester.
