Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has revealed that midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is expected to be out for several weeks with a hamstring injury.
The 25-year-old picked up the issue on international duty for Nigeria but was fit enough to start Monday’s 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
However, he aggravated it during the first half, coming off at half-time, and will now be forced to sit out the next set of games – with Nampalys Mendy another likely absentee against Bournemouth on Saturday.
“Wilfred Ndidi will probably be out for a little bit. He came back from international duty with a minor hamstring strain,” boss Brendan Rodgers said.
“He recovered well, but he felt at half-time on Monday it was sore again. He will miss a few weeks.
