Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has provided an update on Wilfred Ndidi’s injury status, revealing that the Nigerian midfielder will not be available for the Foxes’ upcoming match against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Ndidi, who has been a key player for Leicester, has been sidelined since picking up an injury during the team’s 2-2 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion two weeks ago.
The 28-year-old missed Leicester’s heavy 4-0 loss to Newcastle United last weekend, and Van Nistelrooy confirmed that Ndidi is still in recovery. “Wilfred is in his rehab. He’s not on the pitch, so he’s not available for selection,” Van Nistelrooy stated in a club update. The manager’s comments suggest that while the Nigerian international is working hard to regain fitness, he will not feature in the squad for their upcoming fixture.
Ndidi has made 15 appearances for the club this season, contributing significantly in midfield. As Leicester City prepares for their next challenge, fans will be hoping for a swift recovery for the influential midfielder, who has long been a staple in their lineup.
