However, Speaking with LCFC TV, Rodgers stated that Ndidi’s injury wasn’t serious and will be fit to face Preston North End and Derby County in preseason games.

“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.”

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.
