Why Ndidi Will Miss At Least Two Games Not One, Leicester Boss Reacts To Red Card
Published: March 31, 2018
Wilfred Ndidi will not be available for selection in Leicester City's next two domestic fixtures after he was sent off against Brighton & Hove on Saturday afternoon.
Since Ndidi did not receive a straight red card against the Seagulls, he would have been suspended for only one game under normal circumstances but the central midfielder was dismissed against Crystal Palace in December 2017 and will be banned for a further game by the English FA as today's red was his second of the season.
Leicester Mercury has added that the two-game ban could be extended yet further if it's deemed the Nigeria international did not leave the pitch within a reasonable amount of time after he was red carded in the 87th minute.
Reacting to Ndidi's sending off post-match, Foxes manager Claude Puel has opined that the Nigerian did not deserve to be sent off as he made contact with the ball.
The Frenchman told reporters : ''For me, he doesn't touch the player. He touch the ball and it changed direction. It's tough to lose this player, he's very valuable and he's tough in midfield''.
It is confirmed that Ndidi will not be included in the match day squads when Leicester City face Newcastle United (April 7) and Burnley (April 14).
