Nigeria international Wilfred Ndidi has been ruled out of Leicester City’s trip to Newcastle United on Saturday due to a hamstring injury.
Ndidi was forced off in the second half of Leicester’s 2-2 draw with Brighton last weekend after a collision, heading straight down the tunnel for treatment.
Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy confirmed the midfielder’s absence while speaking to the media ahead of the clash at St. James’ Park.
“He has a hamstring injury, so he’s not available for [Saturday’s] game,” Van Nistelrooy said. “We’re looking at his progress and how he will react to the injury, but it looks like it’s at least a couple of weeks.”
