Vardy, the league's second-highest scorer this season with 22 goals, angrily confronted referee Jon Moss after being picking up a second yellow card for diving during Leicester's 2-2 draw against West Ham on April 17.

After missing Sunday's 4-0 win over Swansea, Vardy will now also be suspended for Sunday's match at Old Trafford, where Leicester could wrap up their first ever Premier League title with victory.

The 29-year-old, who was also fined 10,000 pounds, will be available for the final two matches of the season against Everton and Chelsea.
