Championship: Injury kicks out Wilfred Ndidi

Leeds United have been handed a boost ahead of Friday’s crucial Championship clash against Leicester City with Wilfred Ndidi set to be ruled out, according to Leicestershire Live.

The Midlands-based news outlet, reporting on 30 October writes that the Nigerian midfield star is not expected to play any part against the Whites at the King Power on Friday (3 November).

Ndidi is set to be ruled out until after the international break in November. However, Foxes starlet Yunus Akgun is set to be available on Friday after missing their last two games as two of the Championship’s top three face off in a crucial encounter.

Leicester City have done pretty remarkably without their star midfield man in Ndidi so Leeds United will certainly be taking such an update with a pinch of salt right now.

The star quality that Foxes manager Enzo Maresca has available to him, especially in midfield means the Nigerian international’s absence isn’t affecting them as they will have expected.
