Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi out for 3-4 weeks after an operation on knee injury

Leicester City have confirmed that midfielder Wilfred Ndidi will be out for three to four weeks after an operation on a knee injury.

Ndidi sustained an injury in training on Tuesday, January 7, 2020, and missed Leicester City’s Carabao Cup game against Aston Villa the next day.

Speaking to the media ahead of Leicester City’s next game, which is the visit of Southampton, Foxes’ coach Brenden Rodgers gave an update on Ndidi’s injury.

"It went very well," Rodgers said about the operation as he spoke to national media on Friday, January 10 ahead of Saturday's Premier League visit of Southampton to King Power Stadium.

"It was a good operation. He’s now back in and straight into his recovery. Something around that (three or four weeks). Sometimes it can be sooner, sometimes it can’t be.
