Ndidi proving his new worth for Leicester
Leicester City expert view bannerWilfred Ndidi's preparations to face Southampton on Saturday have hardly been ideal.
Along with the rest of the Nigeria squad, he was left stranded at an airport overnight before Tuesday's Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya.
Ndidi, along with former Foxes team-mate Kelechi Iheanacho, spent over 15 hours in Al Abraq before eventually flying back to Nigeria on Monday evening, with the game being called off.
That Ndidi returns fully fit for the Foxes is of paramount importance for boss Steve Cooper given his influence this season.
