Ndidi's Fitness To Be Assessed Ahead Of Leicester City's Trip To Zorya Luhansk
Published: November 25, 2020Leicester City's qualification for the knockout rounds of the UEFA Europa League is on the horizon after winning their opening three matches in Group G.
If Brendan Rodgers side defeat Sporting Braga at the Estádio Municipal, Braga on Thursday, they would be in the hat for the last 32 draw on December 18.
Super Eagles striker Kelechi Iheanacho, the top assist provider in this season's Europa League with three, has traveled with the squad to Portugal and is in the frame to add to his appearances in the competition.
His international teammate Wilfred Ndidi is making good progress in his recovery from an adductor injury and manager Rodgers has revealed that the holding midfielder will be assessed before the trip to Zorya Luhansk next Thursday.
The Foxes number 25 has been registered for the Europa League even though he was on the sidelines when the list was submitted to UEFA in October.
Providing an injury update, Rodgers was quoted as saying by Leicester City's official webpage : "Timothy [Castagne] hasn't travelled so we're just monitoring him over the course of this week and we'll see where he's at for the game next Monday (versus Fulham).
"Wilf (Wilfred Ndidi) is progressing really, really well so we'll see the possibility of him when we play in the Ukraine, so that'll be great news.
"And then çağs (çağlar Söyüncü) as well, a little bit further down the line with him, but we'll see where he's at in the next few weeks."
