Injured Ndidi could miss next 3 months for Leicester

Leicester midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is facing up to three months out because of an abductor injury, manr Brendan Rodgers said Wednesday.

Ndidi was t involved in Leicester's 2-0 loss to Arsenal in English League Cup after getting hurt in 4-2 win over Burnley in Premier League on Saturday.

“We are just waiting to hear more on that, but he could be anything between six and 12 weeks,” Rodgers said about Ndidi after Arsenal game.

“It is an abductor injury — it may have come off bone, which could be a nasty injury. So we will wait to see if needs an operation. If it does, n it will be 12 weeks.”

Ndidi has been filling in at center back at start of season while Leicester was without suspended Jonny Evans and injured Wes Morgan.

Leicester struggled without Ndidi, a midfield anchorman and organizer, when he was out through injury for a spell last season.
