Leicester City’s manager, Enzo Maresca, has provided an update on the recovery of star midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, who has been out of action since the end of 2023 due to injury. Ndidi’s absence was keenly felt during the recent Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire, where he was unable to represent his country.
Maresca expressed optimism about Ndidi’s progress, revealing that the player has already begun training with the team, albeit in a limited capacity. The manager hinted that Ndidi could make a swifter return than initially anticipated, which would be a significant boost for Leicester City.
“Wilf is still out, but he has started to participate in some training sessions with us,” Maresca shared during a press conference. “We are hopeful that he will be able to fully join the team next week, which would mean he is close to being available for selection. Having Wilf back on the pitch would be a huge advantage for us, as he is a key player in our squad.”
The manager acknowledged the challenges faced by the team in Ndidi’s absence, emphasizing the importance of finding alternative solutions while eagerly awaiting the midfielder’s return. Maresca stressed the significance of having Ndidi back sooner rather than later, highlighting his integral role in the team’s success.
As Leicester City continues to navigate through the season, the potential return of Wilfred Ndidi looms large as a beacon of hope for the team and its supporters. Stay tuned for further updates on Ndidi’s recovery and his anticipated comeback to the pitch.
