Wilfred Ndidi will be sidelined by a muscle injury for three months.
The 27-year-old midfielder has already been ruled out of the AFCON and since replaced by Alhassan Yusuf.
A three-month absence could see Ndidi miss 15 of Leicester’s remaining 20 league games this season.
“For Wilf (Ndidi), it will be a long time,” said Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca.
“It could be three months. It looks like a muscle problem, but an important one so we now see in the next hours.”
In the last two years, Ndidi has suffered a series of long-term injuries.
Interestingly, his contract with the English Championship side will run out in June.
Nigeria should NEVER rely on or call this Ndidi again. This is exactly what he did to us and made Ghana to go for the world cup AS IF he was bribed to injured himself deliberately. He is NOT trustworthy.
He should be ashamed of himself 😞
