Leicester boss Claude Puel insists he has no problem with Jamie Vardy after the striker appeared to react angrily when speaking to his manager after the 1-0 home defeat to Manchester United.
Marcus Rashford scored the only goal of the game at the King Power Stadium, and Puel says Vardy was merely showing understandable frustration at the final whistle.
"I have a good relationship with him. We know Jamie and after he has lost, he is never happy and that is normal for a player," Puel said ahead of Sunday's game with Tottenham at Wembley, live on Sky Sports.
"If I thought one of my players was disrespectful, to me or to the club, there would be a sanction.
"That is not the case with Jamie."
Puel also revealed that Leicester midfielder Marc Albrighton is likely to miss most of the season as he requires surgery on his injured hamstring.
Albrighton has played 27 times in all competitions for the Foxes this season but his opportunities for the rest of the campaign now appear limited, with the problem more serious than first thought.
"We know the injury to Marc Albrighton. He has had a serious hamstring injury and it's bad news for us, for the team," added Puel.
"He will not be available until the end of the season.
"Normally it would be a surgery for him but it's longer than just a hamstring injury. He will have surgery."
The 29-year-old committed his long-term future to Leicester by signing a new deal until the summer of 2022 in January.
