Jamie Vardy will be able to bow out at the King Power Stadium with the Leicester City striker suffering only from cramp at the end of the 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest.

Vardy had been seen limping in added time at the City Ground, but manager Ruud van Nistelrooy alleviated fears that he could be denied a farewell appearance at the King Power Stadium.

This Sunday’s game against Ipswich will be Vardy’s 500th for City and his final for the club at the home ground. He will be hoping to score what would be his 200th goal for the club.

“He’s fine,” van Nistelrooy said. “It’s cramp. He felt the cramp in his hamstring and he will be okay for next week.”

There were a couple of occasions at Forest where it looked like Vardy might get a shot away, but he did not manage to find the space he needed, instead trying and failing to find Kasey McAteer in one promising moment, and then laying off to Jeremy Monga for his late saved effort.

He did manage to get himself an assist for Facundo Buonanotte’s goal though, flicking around the corner for the Argentinian, who dribbled into the box and finished.

“It was a good performance for him,” van Nistelrooy said of Vardy. “He helped the team off the ball a lot.
