Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi has sustained an ankle ligament injury as Beşiktaş prepares for Thursday's UEFA Europa League home fixture against FC Midtjylland, reports BSNSports.com.ng.

According to the club's announcement, the Nigerian midfielder was diagnosed with a ligament injury in his right ankle after medical assessments.

It is expected that Ndidi will be unable to participate in Beşiktaş's first leg of the UEFA Europa League 2nd Qualifying Round against Midtjylland, and his chances of playing in the second leg are slim.

His injury may cause short-term instability in Beşiktaş's midfield, particularly given his key roles in physical duels, space coverage, and transition defence.

The coaching staff will need to carefully manage workload and consider alternative options to ensure squad depth and maintain game control, while also focusing on a safe and gradual recovery.
