0 756

Wilfred Ndidi will play no part in Leicester City’s Premier League clash against Aston Villa on Saturday.

A lengthy injury list for Leicester still includes James Justin, Jonny Evans, Ryan Bertrand, Boubakary Soumare and Ricardo Pereira while Jamie Vardy is in with a slim chance of returning from a glute problem.

The midfielder who has been sidelined since sustaining a muscle injury in Leicester City training was ruled out of the clash due to personal reasons.

Leicester City manager, Brendan Rodgers further revealed that his return to the squad is imminent.

He, Ndidi has been training well,” Rodgers was quoted by the club’s official website.

“He’s had a personal issue this week that won’t see him involved at the weekend but hopefully going forward he won’t be too far away.”

Ndidi has featured in 16 games across all competitions for Leicester City this season.

Meanwhile, Kelechi Iheanacho is poised to play a role in the encounter at Villa Park.

Iheanacho had to bail Leicester out against lower-tier opposition Walsall, as Rodgers’s men squeaked past them into round five courtesy of a one-goal success

Rodgers has remained reluctant to throw Iheanacho in from the first whistle this season, but the FA Cup hero will surely be considered for a starting role in the number nine place over Patson Daka this time around.
