The defensive midfielder was included in Super Eagles' 25-man list but <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/01/03/jose-peseiro-replaces-wilfred-ndidi-in-super-eagles-2023-afcon-squad/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the player had to withdraw from the squad due to an injury.</a></p> <p>Ndidi had to undergo surgery to treat the injury and has been out of football since December last year.</p> <p>In a recent interview with Sky Sports, the 27-year-old midfielder said:<em> “The injury’s alright, I’m getting there. It’s two weeks post-surgery.</em></p> <p><em>“Hopefully in a couple of weeks, I’ll be back.”</em></p> <p>When he was asked to clarify what the two weeks signify, the Nigerian midfielder said, <em>“A couple of weeks to play.”</em></p> <p>Ahead of Leicester City's FA Cup fourth-round game against Birmingham which ended in an emphatic 3-0 win for coach Maresca earlier today, the manager argued that Ndidi was wrong with his projection.</p> <p>The 43-year-old Italian tactician stressed that the Nigeria international will stay out of football for more than the weeks the footballer projected.</p> <p><em>“He didn’t understand ‘a couple of weeks’, that it means two weeks. It’s not weeks", </em>the coach said.</p> <p><em>“It’s as we said at the beginning, it’s three months, and nothing has changed. But he didn’t understand that couple means two, so this is why he said it.”</em></p> <p>Note that the contract between Leicester City and Wilfred Ndidi will expire on June 30, 2024, and there is no sign of a contract extension talks at the time of writing.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/01/27/leicester-coach-disagrees-with-wilfred-ndidi-over-injury-status/">Leicester Coach Disagrees With Wilfred Ndidi Over Injury Status</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.naijanews.com">Naija News</a>.</p>
