Wilfred Ndidi has been ruled out by a muscle injury for three months.

The 27-year-old midfielder has already been ruled out of the AFCON and since replaced by Alhassan Yusuf.

A three-month absence could see Ndidi miss 15 of Leicesters remaining 20 league games this season.

For Wilf (Ndidi), it will be a long time, said Leicester City 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.

In the last two years, Ndidi has suffered a series of long-term injuries.

Interestingly, his contract with the English Championship side will run out in June. (The Nation)
