Leicester City manager, Brendan Rodgers says Super Eagles midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi’s latest injury is not as serious as what was initially predicted.
The Nigerian international has been making speedy recovery after he suffered an injury that made him miss the latter part of the last campaign, and was expected to be fit for Leicester City’s preseason game against Hull City today, only to cope with another injury during training few days ago.
“Wilf’s twisted his ankle in training a few days ago. We don’t think it’s too serious,” manager Brendan Rodgers told LCFC TV.
“It’s a high ankle sprain, so he had a scan on it and it’ll hopefully be okay.”
Personal life
Ndidi grew up in a barracks as his father was a serving Army officer before his retirement. Discipline and education were the priority there, while football was a passion his father frowned upon. “Any time my dad went to work I would go and play,” Ndidi said in an interview with BBC World Service.
In May 2019, Ndidi married his longtime girlfriend Dinma Fortune in Abuja.
In 2019, Ndidi started studying for a degree in Business and Management at De Montfort University.
