Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi could be sidelined for few weeks with a knee injury, manager Brendan Rodgers said.
The 25-year-old sustained the injury in Thursday’s 2-1 UEFA Europa Conference League defeat to French club Rennes.
“Wilfred Ndidi, we just have to assess him. He may have picked up an injury which may keep him out for a few weeks, which is a shame,” Rodgers told lcfc.com.
The former Genk star is now doubtful for Nigeria’s 2022 FIFA World Cup playoffs against Ghana next week.

His absence will be a big blow to Nigeria’s chances of securing a spot in Qatar 2022.
Rodgers also provide update on Ademola Lookman’s fitness ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash with Brentford.
“Ricardo Pereira and Ademola Lookman were guys who put themselves out there last night even though they weren’t 100 per cent, they weren’t feeling well,” the Northern Irishman stated.
“Both those players came into the game and gave their all for the team so they should still be available. ”

Now clear that Ndidi will not feature! Bible should be drafted ASAP,any DM that will feature should not go pass the center Circle so as to protect our of central defenders. We call it standing 4 back in the years. Personally I feel we should linup this way

Ighalo must start..his experienced in big games,he will draw fouls. Bonke will play to instructions not to cross the center Circle,yes!! He got strength with zero skill, that’s y I prefer him in a match like this…no to for errors in the middle. God bless u all
Even if Kanu and jj features in this match, our WIVES are going down by three goals to nothing
Eguavoen has won only once against Ghana lol
He has a very poor statistics against Ghana in all football competition
We beat the same egu in Kumasi during the all African games in 2011 and the same thing ll happen
The same man, the same tactics and the same philosophy haha
@Mutum good one. But let me just ask what do you think about the experience of Musa too…
@mutum let me laugh at your comment abit, if bible is drafted according to your comment which preacher are we going to draft self ?
Just kidding nio
Abdullahi Shehu over Bonke
Few weeks means that, he won’t be able to feature in both legs… wish him nothing but the best but I wanted him to play so that there’ll be no excuse after we beat 3 goals to nothing in ghana

Shame will not allow u guys to talk after the eagles will beat u home and away you guys u magumagu beat South African because Ghana I know have no players those boys playing in 3th and 4th division
I want to remember this comment because we ll surely come back to this after Ghana has totally shocked u and ur likes!!
Nigeria is going to be very hurt that day because we really mean business and we ll show u that it isn’t players names that play a match!!
Keep on boasting, u ll be drunk from the haymakers Ghana ll administer to ur team lol
Medial ligament treatment onto minimum is 6wks. I wish he was fit.
It depends on the grade or level of the injury. Grade A takes about a week to three to heal.
Even onto 1wk, Ndidi is out of the two legs as coach Egu already knows he’s getting a replacement. We have missed Ndidi.
Selfmade you get mouth,you appear to be a spy on this platform,we will see what happens in Kumasi we keep our fingers crossed but note you cannot beat us at home and we are at our best in away matches the game in Kumasi will shock every Ghanian
Ok check the last time ghana lost a competitive match in Kumasi!! Way back in 2001 against George Oppong weah Liberia which means 20 something years ago!!
If u are under any illusions that nigeria is coming to even pick a draw in Kumasi, wake up from ur slumber because u have dreamt for long
Ghana will wake u up and we ll show u how to win a derby by taking u thru the UNIVERSITY OF FOOTBALL DERBY!!

Nigeria beat Ghana home and away. This is have seen.
The scoreline in Kumasi is 0:2. I’ve seen it. But the scorers aren’t really clear yet. But I’m seeing Osimhen. So is either Osimhen score the both goals,or he score one of them.

Wilfred Ndidi out!!! No problem!! Pinnick and Eguavoen have got Onazi and Etebo
Ghana is not a threat to Nigeria as at today, even Nigeria’s Third 11 will beat Ghana home and away.
