The Foxes are still chasing the Premier League title, but will have to continue for the next two games without their top scoring striker Jamie Vardy

According to the Austria national team captain Christian Fuchs, Leicester City will survive without Jamie Vardy, even if the striker is suspended for more than just one game.

Vardy was sent off in the 2-2 draw with West Ham last Sunday, meaning he will definitely miss the home fixture against Swansea City on Sunday.

However, Leicester City teammate Fuchs is adamant that it will not dramatically affect their results. 

"It's a new situation for us because Jamie hasn't missed a game yet but I think we can cope," Fuchs told BBC World Service Sport.

"We have this confidence, we have the quality. Every time Leonardo Ulloa comes off the bench he has done well and he's a big part of the team. 

"I think we can definitely compete."
