Star Leicester player may be out for three months due to injury
Unfortunately for Leicester City injuries just keep piling up. Now their defensive midfield star, Wilfred Ndidi, is possibly out for three months.
I’m sure most of you are already aware of the injury Brendan Rodgers confirmed Wilfred Ndidi suffered. Therefore we won’t go too much into the incident – an abductor issue – or the projected 12-week recovery timeframe, but FoL will assess the implications.
To be honest, onlookers are coming to expect many fitness problems for footballers at present, possibly as a result of the amount of competitive contests the athletes are undertaking – or enduring – in swift succession. Obviously I’m no expert, but I fear one doesn’t have to be learned to be insightful here.
Furthermore, to be completely candid about the monumental potential negative effects for the Foxes, losing Wilfried Ndidi is arguably as bad for Brendan Rodgers as the absence of Ricardo Pereira: possibly detrimental to the team’s composition, determination and defensive capabilities. Nerve-racking times, indeed.
With the Europa League on the horizon, this latest setback couldn’t come at a less opportune period, or to a more vital player.
Up next for Leicester City
Leicester’s next match is versus Manchester City at Etihad Stadium, on Sunday afternoon. In their first game of 2020/21, Pep Guardiola’s men comfortably beat Wolverhampton Wanderers. While Rodgers’ side are currently top of the Premier League with two wins from two attempts.
Although, not many Foxes fans anticipate that feat lasting for long. A decent showing in the UEL, a sustained FA Cup run, along with a top-six top-flight finish would see the Blue Army more than satisfied.
