“We’re delighted with Monday night and we’re looking to our next game. In terms of the squad, Wilfred Ndidi will probably be out for a little bit.
“He came back from international duty with a hamstring strain. He recovered well but he felt it at half-time in the game and he was a little sore, so he might miss a few weeks.
“Papy Mendy has an issue with his knee so may struggle for the weekend but everyone else should be fine.”
Ndidi had been out since March this year due to injury. which saw him miss the Super Eagles 2022 World Cup qualifying play-offs with Ghana.

Seems like age is catching up with this guy. No wonder he was disqualified on the eve of the 2013 U17 for being overaged.
No @Muyiwa you are wrong this is a guy that played the most out of any Leicester City player for 3 or 4 seasons in a row all games including EPL and Uefa Europa League Champions Leage and Conference cup (Before that injury to Rennes) coupled with Super Eagles international Engagements which also included 2 AFCONS AND a World Cup literally with know rest. You clearly don not understand the physical toll that takes on the humanbody. He was the Most important player for Leicester Leading up to his Injuries last season. Stop talking rubbish.
@muyiwa.I don’t think it is age related.He played too many games for his team this past few seasons. The body is not machine you know
Ndidi injury woes started when he had an injury about two seasons ago that was meant to be 3-4 months lay off but was rushed to start playing after 3 weeks. This was the time Rodgers said Ndidi has strong bone, that create room for a faster healing.
I pray for divine healing for him.
