Manager of the English Premier League club Leicester City, Brendan Rodgers, has confirmed that Nigeria's Super Eagles midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, has been ruled out of the season, BSNsports.com.ng report.

The former Genk of Belgium player sustained a knee injury in the Europa Conference League match against French Ligue one club Rennes.

He has had a successful surgery but the manager on Thursday confirmed that Ndidi will not return until the pre-season.

“He’ll be out for the season which is a shame for us. He picked up a nasty injury which he had to have surgery on and he’ll recover for June,” Rodgers said.

“He’ll get ready for next season. It’s a bit unfortunate, he’s been a brilliant player for me in my time here. On the other side, Papy Mendy has come in and been great.

“We thought he was leaving in the summer, he wasn’t in the squad and then hardly played in the first half of the season. He has always been a brilliant professional and we gain a player in him," he said.
