Leicester midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, is in contention to face Tottenham Hotspur in Saturday’s Premier League fixture at the King Power Stadium.

However, Leicester boss, Brendan Rodgers, while providing an update on the fitness of his players during the post-match press briefing of the game against Spur, gave a positive injury assessment of the midfielder.
According to him, the Nigerian will likely be available for the match against Antonio Conte’s men.
Rodgers was quoted on the club’s official website to have said: ” “He’s back in training and hopefully should be fine for the weekend.”
Ndidi since missing the last World Cup qualifiers for Nigeria due o injury, has struggled to stay fit in recent times battling with one injury or another.
His compatriot, Kelechi Iheanacho, is also expected to be included in Leicester City’s squad for the home game.
Iheanacho scored once and provided two assists in the club’s 4-2 win at Aston Villa last weekend.
