The Leicester City and England star will be celebrating his 31st birthday - but hoping his main present will be a return to the first team.
Vardy, a former Stocksbridge Park Steels non-league striker who was released by Sheffield Wednesday at the age of 16, has been struggling with a groin injury.
But he should be back to play at Chelsea on Saturday. Vardy has been restricted to gym work because of the niggling problem.
The Sheffield-born player hasn’t been on the winning side in his last five outings with Leicester - but has scored three goals in four of those matches.
