Why hasn’t he taken a penalty?

[AKCJ]

Can only assume he's got a massive injury. Why can't he take a penalty?

Can only think he’s injured and couldn’t take one. No way does our regular penalty taker not take one ahead of Bertrand and Thomas

He was standing away from the group huddle before the pens, then ushered in. Must be injured.

Scored 2 but could've put it out of reach.

[eblair]

He must be injured, didn’t take one in the World Cup for same reason

An injured Vardy is a better penalty taker than Bertrand and Thomas will ever be

[baldeagle]

Yea it’s weird Vardy not taking a penalty but there’s obviously a reason why he didn’t

Can't be 7 better takers on the pitch. If injured sub him for Perez.

If he’s got injured it was when he was rugby tackled before their goal. Meaning there wasn’t really time to sub him and he probably thought he’d try to run it off. 
 

Surely that’s the only explanation 

[StanSP]

Surely it's not injury? Otherwise he isn't running around on the pitch? What if he got a chance in the final minute, would he have not taken it?

I believe we'd used all our sub opportunities

You can make 5 in the League cup and we’d only made 4. Makes zero sense to not take him off if he couldn’t take a pen.

I believe you only get 3 sub opportunities to make 5 subs? (correct me if I'm wrong, too lazy to Google). So we couldn’t make any more.

5 players in 3 substitutions. Unable to change. Definitely looked like he was struggling

Hamstring ‘went’ at about 60 mins according to Rodgers on RL

Why is he on the bench today if injured?

Good question. Rodgers seemed to backtrack on the injury post match, to ‘felt something and couldn’t get going’. Not risked today tho

[filbertway]

Out for a month or so then.

Yeah 3/4 weeks apparently, Daka is also out for 3/4 weeks so back maybe a week before Vardy and Iheanacho is off to the cup of nations after Saturday’s game
