The striker was suspended for Sunday's win over Swansea but wasn't missed as he watched his teammates smash four past the Swans
Jamie Vardy has insisted Leicester’s players are enjoying a “fairground ride” and are not feeling the title pressure.
The Foxes defied suggestions that they would struggle without the suspended 22-goal striker with a resounding 4-0 win over Swansea.
Vardy, speaking at the PFA awards, said: “All the lads will say the same.
“Its like a fairground ride and we are just enjoying ourselves and we will keep enjoying ourselves for the last few games. There are no nerves at all.”
Asked for his thoughts on the magnitude of Sunday’s win, which took Claudio Ranieri’s side eight points clear at the top, Vardy added: “It was massive.
“The press were saying for some reason that Leicester were a one-man team. Its completely the opposite. We are a complete team and we will fight for each other all the way.
“I was nervous. I hate watching. Like I’ve said the lads have done absolutely brilliant and they deserved it.”
Speaking after receiving a PFA award for his goalscoring feats earlier in the season when he netted in 11 consecutive Premier League games, he said: "I’m over the moon. It is an honour to get an award like this.
"I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the team.
"You try not to think about it [the record], you hope a chance comes your way and I managed to put one away."
