Cooper praises Leicester star Vardy's exceptional form ahead of clash with Everton

When asked about Vardy's availability for the weekend match, Cooper informed the reporters that Vardy is extremely eager and driven. Cooper also highlighted the importance of considering Vardy's age when it comes to his preparation for matches, as he still maintains high levels of excitement and motivation on matchdays.

“Preparations allows him to be at his best. He’s had a very good start, especially considering his injury in pre-season. He’s been able to deliver even while still getting up to speed.”

He then added on Vardy compared to striker Odsonne Edouard: “Jamie has been well-known for playing on the shoulder, runs in behind, and that’s what given him the career we’ve all seen. 

“Odsonne can offer that as well. But he can play in a couple of positions. And you just need more than one option. He has big-game experience from his time at Celtic as well. 

“The more attacking options you can have, for changes, the better. It’s not just about the starting team, it’s about having a variety. You saw with Vards and Pato picking up injuries, we were undermanned there. We needed bodies. The quality we have, it bodes well.”
