Leicester City Suffer Ndidi Injury Blow
Leicester City coach Ruud Van Nistelrooy has confirmed that Wilfred Ndidi has been sidelined with a hamstring injury.
The Super Eagles midfielder is expected to be out of action for a couple of weeks, dealing a major blow to the Foxes survival hopes.
He was forced off in Leicester City’s 2-2 draw against Brighton on Sunday.
The 27-year-old has played 15 matches for Leicester City in the Premier League this season, and is expected to miss the clash against Newcastle United on Saturday.
Van Nistelrooy confirmed Ndidi’s absence in a press conference on Friday.
He said: “He, Ndidi, has a hamstring injury, so he’s not available for Saturday’s game.
“We’re looking at his progress and how he will react to the injury, but it looks like it’s at least a couple of weeks.”
Ndidi has been a vital part of Leicester City since joining the team in 2017, scoring 11 goals in 238 matches in all competitions.
He was part of the team that defeated Chelsea in the FA Cup final in 2021.
