Ndidi returns to training after three months out

Wilfred Ndidi is back in full training at Leicester City after recovering from the knee injury which sidelined him towards the end of last season, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

This was made known on Instagram Wednesday after the Foxes posted a video of the 25-year-old midfielder running onto the pitch to join his teammates for his sixth pre-season training at the club.

Ndidi, who was full of smiles on his return, was put through his paces and was drilled in shuttle races as the Foxes intensify their preparations for the new EPL campaign.

Beneath the video, the club wrote:

 â€œOur Nigeria international (Ndidi) is into the pre-season fold.”

Ndidi picked up the injury in a UEFA Europa Conference League Round of 16 clash against French club, Stade Rennes.

The Nigerian international went under the knife a few days later.

The injury forced him to miss Nigeria’s 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying fixture against the Black Stars of Ghana in March.

The 24-year-old also missed the friendlies against Mexico and Ecuador as well as the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Sierra Leone and Sao Tome.

Meanwhile, Leicester are planning an overseas training camp and six friendlies over the course of the summer as Rodgers hopes a rigorous pre-season will lead to a strong start to the new campaign.

During the first fortnight of pre-season, City will play the first of their summer fixtures but this will be behind closed doors.
