He’ll miss Leicester City’s potential Premier League title-clinching clash with Manchester United but Jamie Vardy still has every reason to smile as the striker arrived for training on Friday morning.
The England striker will miss Sunday’s crunch clash at Old Trafford after a regulatory commission handed the England international a one-game ban over his FA improper-conduct charge.
But it was business as usual for the 29-year-old striker as he arrived at the club’s Belvoir Drive base in his Bentley Continental GT which was understood to have been bought for £168,000.

The striker, who has played a starring role in his side’s fairytale season by notching 22 top-flight goals, signed autographs for fans who welcomed the players to training.
But Vardy, the former non-League striker, wasn’t alone with his Leicester team-mates also being mobbed by fans eager to catch a glimpse of the potential title-winning stars.
A win at Old Trafford will secure title glory after second-place Tottenham were held to a 1-1 draw by West Brom on Monday night.
With reason to smile, Leonardo Ulloa – who deputised for the suspended Vardy in the 4-0 win over Swansea last weekend – was more than happy to sign autographs for fans.
And Christian Fuchs, who has also enjoyed a stunning season after joining from Schalke last summer, was all smiles as he arrived for training.

JAMIE VARDY’S SEASON STATS AND THE PREMIER LEAGUE TABLE
Appearances: 34
Goals: 22
Shot accuracy: 58 per cent
Chances created: 45
Pass accuracy: 65 per cent
Yellow/red cards: 6/1

Claudio Ranieri’s men will have to make do without their leading striker after Vardy was handed an extra one-game ban for his reaction to being sent off in the 2-2 draw with West Ham on April 17.
The England striker angrily pointed and swore at referee Jon Moss, who had brandished a second yellow card for diving, and the three-man panel decided it was worthy of further punishment.
Vardy missed Leicester’s 4-0 win over Swansea on Sunday, watching from his executive box at the King Power Stadium, before attending the PFA awards in London and collecting a commemorative plate for scoring in a record 11 Premier League games in a row.
But he’ll undoubtedly be part of the celebrations on Sunday should the Foxes clinch the Premier League title at Old Trafford.
