Leicester Boss Confirms : Ndidi Picked Up Hamstring Injury Vs Chelsea, To Miss At Least Two Games
Published: August 24, 2019Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed an exclusive report by allnigeriasoccer.com that Wilfred Ndidi picked up a hamstring injury during his side's 1-1 draw with Chelsea last weekend.
Rodgers also revealed after The Foxes 2-1 win at Sheffield United in which the Nigeria international did not play a part that the midfielder will not be available for the League Cup match against Newcastle United because he is expected to resume training mid-week.
''He tweaked his hamstring just slightly against Chelsea, and he just felt it,'' Rodgers told reporters after Saturday's afternoon's game at Bramall Lane.
''He had a scan on it and it's just a minor strain, but hopefully he will rejoin the team training in mid-week and then be ready for next Saturday.''
Prior to today's match against the Blades, the Super Eagles star had not missed a Premier League game since May 2018.
