The Leicester star will miss his side's trip to Manchester United on Sunday after being banned for an additional game for improper conduct...

On April 17, Jamie Vardy angrily confronted referee Jon Moss who sent him off for diving.

The 29-year-old sat out Sunday's 4-0 win over Swansea and he could be absent for the triumphant moment of their campaign. 

Vardy requested a personal hearing in the hope of avoiding further punishment, but he was also fined £10,000. 

But, he will be available for the final two matches of the season against Everton and Chelsea.

An FA statement read, "Following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing, Jamie Vardy has been given a one-match suspension with immediate effect, fined £10,000 and warned as to his future conduct.

"The Leicester City forward had accepted an FA charge of improper conduct following his second half dismissal against West Ham United on Sunday 17 April 2016."
