Nistelrooy Positive on Ndidi’s Injury Situation

Leicester City head coach, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, has revealed Super Eagles midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, is nearing full fitness after being out injured for the past month.

The 28-year-old was withdrawn in the 52nd minute against Brighton and Hove Albion on December 28, 2024, and has not returned to the pitch since then.

The one-time FA Cup winner picked up a hamstring in that tie, and was required to be out of action for a while to aid his full recovery.

In Ndidi’s absence, The Foxes have lost all five games. They’ve dropped points against Newcastle United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Liverpool, Manchester City and Aston Villa, scoring two and conceding fourteen.

With a quest for silverware to patch up their already terrible season, Leicester head coach, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, confirmed his side will be without the pivotal midfielder when they take on Queens Park Rangers in the FA Cup third round at the King Power Stadium.

“Ndidi is continuing his individual training. He’s not yet with the team. He’s pushing harder on an individual basis. Hopefully, we can welcome him to team training in the coming weeks but it’s not a matter that he will be part of it in the coming games” the ex-Manchester United forward said.
