Nigeria Manager Rohr Reveals When Leicester City's Ndidi Will Resume Full Training

Published: May 28, 2018

Leicester City star Wilfred Ndidi will resume full training with the Super Eagles this week, according to the Nigeria national team coach Gernot Rohr.

The Foxes number 25 suffered a hamstring-related injury against Crystal Palace on Saturday, April 28, and underwent a scan two days later which revealed that he will be out of action for six weeks (4+2 weeks), meaning his rehabilitation is going according to plan.

''Ndidi has to follow a special programme because we want to have him at hundred percent fitness.Until [Monday] he will follow that programme,'' Rohr told reporters on Sunday.

"After that, he will return to the group."

Ndidi trained apart from his teammates for the fifth successive day during the Super Eagles workout at the Shell ground on Sunday evening and will play no part in today's friendly against Democratic Republic of Congo.

Still on the injury front, things are not looking good for Gent winger Moses Simon who has a thigh injury as first reported by allnigeriasoccer.com, and the Nigerian Federation will make a decision on his participation in the World Cup in the coming days.
