Since departing Leicester City Football Club and the English Premier League, Jamie Vardy has already gone through a whirlwind footballing adventure.
First of all, there have been highs for the Vardys: joining a Serie A club is no small feat, passion for football in Italy is somewhat unrivaled!
A media frenzy then followed as the former England international striker received praise from journalists. They also posed questions he wasn’t too keen on answering, prompting a testy reply.
Vardini or Vardinho, as he might become known in the Lombardy region, was likewise mobbed and idolized upon his arrival at the airport in mainland Europe.
Another setback emerged when he failed to score on his first Cremo appearance on Monday evening.
And, to complicate matters, he faced criticism from the Italian press, with the general consensus being that he had a disappointing debut. This was despite his Gray and Reds teammates supposedly playing to the 38-year-old’s strengths.
Unfortunately, further negative news may have now arisen at Cremo. The ex-Foxes star is reportedly nursing an injury. Let’s examine what has allegedly occurred and provide some insight.
Bad news for Jamie Vardy and Cremonese as ex-Leicester City star reportedly suffers fitness issue:
As mentioned earlier, substitute Vardy didn’t have the best start in his roughly 30 minutes of game-time for Cremo. Although he is apparently settling in well and making connections, according to reports.
But what about the suspected injury concern?
Sky Sports report that “tests have revealed muscular fatigue.” While that description is fairly vague and detailed information is limited at present, this clearly casts doubt over his availability for the upcoming match against Parma:
“Unfortunately for him, there was also bad news physically: after the match, he reported some discomfort, and, as Sky Sport reported, tests revealed a muscular fatigue.
As of now, Vardy’s availability is uncertain for matchday 4, when Cremonese will host Parma in a low-table clash. The goal is to recover him and have him available for a game that is immediately important for the newly promoted Serie A club.” – [Tribuna]
Fortunately, the situation doesn’t seem too severe. I’m confident Vardy will be back on his feet in Italy in no time!
