Leicester City of England midfielder, Wilfred Onyinyen Ndidi has been declared ‘good enough’ to line out for The Foxes in Sunday’s English Premier League battle with Sheffield United, megasportsarena.com reports.
This is he exciting verdict of The Foxes’ coach, Brendan Rodgers, who admitted he was excited seeing that the former Racing Genk of Belgium stopper-turned-holding-midfielder eventually overcame effects of an adductor injury to play in Thursday’s UEFA Europa League fixture.
Indeed, much to Rodgers’ delight, Ndidi started and played for 56 minutes of the game against Zorya Lugansk of Ukaine, before his substitution, which left the coach excited and he has now enthused that the Super Eagles’ star should be in his squad for Sunday’s game.
The gaffer confirmed that Ndidi came through unscathed in his comeback game on Thursday, thereby putting him in contention to be included in Leicester’s machday squad for the first time since September 20, when he copped a knock in only the second game of the season.
Ndidi should now line out when Leicester visit Bramall Lane to take on Sheffield on Sunday, with Rodgers expecting a different mentality from his side, as he admitted they missed something while the Nigerian lad was on the sidelines, as the team won seven matches, drew once and lost five games in all competitions.
Rodgers said: “It was very important. Wilf’s come through it fine, he didn’t look like he’d been away in all honesty. His physicality is very important for our team, so that was good for him to get 55 minutes.”
