Rodgers delivers positive update on Ndidi ahead of Leicester City's clash with Zorya

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Wilfred Ndidi will make a return to the team when they tackle Zorya in their penultimate Europa League group game on Thursday.

Ndidi went under the knife in September and he has missed over two months of action after he picked up an injury around his abductor against Burnley at the King Power Stadium.

The Nigeria midfield dynamo is expected to return to the Foxes' set-up with Caglar Soyuncu and Ricardo Pereira, who have also recovered from their respective injuries.

“It's an opportunity for us to play some of our players that are coming back from injury and some of our young players,” Rodgers said in his pre-match conference.
