Leicester City’s Ndidi misses Sheffield United clash with hamstring injury

Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi misses the Foxes’ Premier League clash with Sheffield United on Saturday after going down with a hamstring injury.

The Leicester Mercury reported that the central midfielder will be absent for Brendan Rodgers’ side when they travel to the newly promoted Blades in their third game of the season.

Ndidi’s absence means he misses a league game for the first time since May 2018, and he’s been replaced by summer signing Dennis Praet, who makes his first Foxes start.

Praet will take his place in the midfield three alongside Hamza Choudhury and Youri Tielemans, as Ndidi misses the opportunity to build on last weekend’s performance against Chelsea.
