LEICESTER, England — Leicester has handed out around 30,000 masks depicting the face of Jamie Vardy to supporters at the team’s English Premier League match against Everton, a move widely regarded as being a response to the striker’s current ban.
Vardy is suspended for three games after the defending English champion failed in its bid to overturn his red card from Leicester’s last match.
The England striker was himself wearing one of the masks as he sat alongside some teammates in the stands.
