Leicester City Boss Still Complaining About Ndidi Red Card

Leicester City boss Claude Puel is still complaining about the red card given to Wilfred Ndidi in the penultimate round of matches at Brighton & Hove that saw him banned for two games by the English FA.

The Foxes hopes of qualifying for next season's Europa League are in jeopardy after losing 2-1 to Newcastle United at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, which puts them six points of adrift of seventh placed Burnely with only six rounds left.

Yesterday's match was the first time Ndidi failed to start a league game since the season started and there's more bad news for Puel as midfielder Vicente Iborra is likely to be out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury.

''Iborra has a hamstring injury and we have to see. He will be examined and undergo tests tomorrow but we are unlucky at this end of the season with our midfielders,'' Puel told Leicester City's official website.

''After the surgery for Matty James, the sending off which wasn’t deserved for Wilfred Ndidi, it is now Iborra.''

Ndidi will sit out Leicester City's clash at Burnley next weekend and will be available for selection once again when they face Southampton on April 19.
