Ndidi to miss Sporting Braga clash but could return against Zorya Luhansk – Rodgers

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers is hoping Wilfred Ndidi will be available for selection when they take on Zorya Luhansk as he is set to miss their Europa League game against Sporting Braga on Thursday night.

The Nigeria international has been on the sidelines since he suffered a groin injury against Burnley in September.

The midfielder has missed Leicester’s last 11 games, including their Premier League defeat to Liverpool on Sunday due to injury problems.
