Wilfred Ndidi, Nigerian midfielder for Leicester City, will be sidelined for three months due to a muscular issue.
The 27-year-old was replaced in Nigeria’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations squad on Wednesday after missing the Foxes’ Championship victory against Huddersfield on New Year’s Day.
Ndidi might miss fifteen of Leicester’s final twenty league games this season due to a three-month absence.
“For Wilf, it will be a long time,” said Foxes boss Enzo Maresca.
“It could be three months. It looks like a muscle problem, but an important one so we now see in the next hours.”
