Ndidi provides injury update ahead of Leicester City's first pre-season game

Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has revealed that he is ready to return to action for Leicester City ahead of their preseason games, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Ndidi sustained a knee injury in March during Leicester City’s Europa Conference League round of 16 tie against Rennes. The 25-year-old had to undergo surgery to ensure a faster recovery.

The injury ruled Ndidi out of the ill-fated 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Ghana in March. It also ensured that the Nigerian midfielder missed Nigeria’s first two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The midfielder only started full training with his teammates last week Wednesday.

Ndidi will hope to play with his teammates for the first time in four months when they take on Notts County in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.

“I have been working my way back. I went away for two weeks and came back early. The body has already adapted to it. It’s good. For me, I’m in a much better place,”he told LCTV.

“It’s good to be back with the lads and seeing all the lads. We’re still waiting for some of the lads but it will be good when everyone comes back and we can look forward to what we want to achieve.”
