Wilfred Ndidi has pulled out of Nigeria’s international friendly matches against Ivory Coast and Tunisia after aggravating a groin injury in the English Premier League last Sunday where he played in Leicester City’s 4 -2 win over Burnley.
Ndidi who has been converted to a centre back due to the unavailability of key players in that role was said to have finished last weekend’s game against Burnley in pains sustained from the injury.
The media officer of the Super Eagles, Toyin Ibitoye told Sportinglife.ng that the midfielder has already told coach Gernot Rohr and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) that he’s not likely to be fit for the two friendly games on October 9 and 13 in Austria.
“Ndidi is injured and will not make the trip to Austria for the friendly games against Ivory Coast and Tunisia. He has informed the coach and the federation about this latest development. We will miss him no doubt that but then again this is an opportunity for the other players to rise to the occasion” Ibitoye said.
