Ndidi To Play Leicester’s League Opener Against Wolves

By Admin

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Wilfred Ndidi, the Super Eagles midfielder will play the team’s opening 2019-20 season Premier League game against Wolves.

Ndidi was given a longer holiday after the just concluded Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt where he helped the country win bronze, behind runners-up Senegal and champions Algeria.

After missing their first three friendly games, Rodgers said that the 22-year-old will resume training next week but will miss next Saturday’s fixture against Serie A side Atalanta.

“He [Ndidi] will be back towards the Atalanta game. He won’t be involved in that, but he will be training for a few days before that,” Rodgers was quoted by Leicestershire Live.

“He will be available for the first game.”

Leicester City will open their 2019-20 Premier League campaign against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the King Power Stadium on August 11.
