Leicester City have announced that striker Jamie Vardy will make his final appearance for the Foxes when Town visit the King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

It had already been confirmed that the 38-year-old will be leaving Leicester in the summer after a remarkable 13-year spell in which he won the Premier League title and FA Cup as well as 26 England caps, scoring seven goals.

However, it’s now been revealed that Vardy won’t play a part on the final day at AFC Bournemouth and will make his 500th and final appearance for the club on Sunday, looking to score his 200th goal.

The Foxes will be celebrating Vardy’s career with them throughout the day, starting at noon in their Fan Zone with souvenir flags to be placed on seats ahead of a pre-game display.

Following the full-time whistle, further activities are planned with the one-time Fleetwood striker and teammates current and past thanking fans for their support.

hoppy added 15:07 - May 15 ChestnutSE - would rather get the win and a clean sheet - they've been too sparse this season.

VanDusen added 15:48 - May 15 Cheeky b*ggers. Clearly think this is going to be a roll over party cos "it's only Ipswich". Hope that fires up our lads to kep a clean sheet, score a couple amd then mysteriously see Leicester pick him for the last game after all...

armchaircritic59 added 17:53 - May 15 Whatever we may think of Jamie Vardy personally, let's face it, his has been a remarkable story, and I wouldn't be that shocked to see him lining up against us somewhere in the Championship next season, though that might not go down too well at Leicester!

Fermi_Parradox added 18:04 - May 15 I am 98% certain a penalty will be awarded to Leicester in this game. VAR will make sure of it

blues1 added 19:05 - May 15 Van Dusen. Really? Would suggest ifcthey were suggesting this game would be a rollover they'd.ire likely leave him out? Dont know where you've got that idea from. Its purely bcse its their last home game,so wanna give him a deserved send off. Do find it odd why he wouldnt play in their final,game mind you.
