LEICESTER CITY’S NIGERIAN BORN MIDFIELDER, WILFRED NDIDI SET TO MISS CRUNCH TIE AGAINST MANCHESTER CITY DUE TO INJURY

Wilfred Ndidi has been ruled out of Leicester City’s Premier League clash with Manchester City on Saturday.

The midfielder has missed his side’s past two games against Chelsea and Wolves due to a knee problem.

Manager Brendan Rodgers says he will not rush Ndidi back to face the champions and risk any setbacks in his recovery.

Ndidi’s absence presents Rodgers with a problem in midfield, with Hamza Choudhury suspended for the game against Pep Guardiola’s side and Nampalys Mendy also out with a knee injury.

Rodgers went on to distance Leicester from an approach for Adam Lallana, who is expected to leave Liverpool at the end of the season.

Leicester, who are third, go into the game four points behind Manchester City in the table, having only won three of their past 10 league games.
