Championship: Ndidi making progress after injury – Leicester boss, Maresca

Leicester City manager, Enzo Maresca has revealed that Wilfred Ndidi is progressing well from injury.

Ndidi has been sidelined since the end of 2023.

The injury forced him to miss the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.

The midfielder could potentially return slightly earlier than expected, according to Maresca.

The Italian also explained why the Foxes have missed the 27-year-old during his absence.

“Wilf is still out and that is all. He has already started to do some sessions with us, but part of the session, not all,” Maresca told a press conference on Friday.

“Hopefully next week he can complete the session with us, which means he starts to be available. Hopefully we can have Wilf back because, as you know, he is an important player for us.

“That’s why I said if he can be back earlier than three months, it is much better for us.

“He is an important player. Now we are trying to find solutions to adapt players but hopefully we can have him back very soon.”
