Van Nistelrooy sweating over Ndidi’s hamstring injury

Leicester City manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy is sweating over Wilfred Ndidi’s hamstring injury ahead of the trip to Newcastle this weekend.

The Nigerian came off injured early in the second half of his side’s 2-2 draw with Brighton at the King Power stadium on Sunday following a collision with Joao Pedro.

The former Manchester United forward who scored 95 goals in 150 appearances in the Premier League is hoping the Nigerian’s injury isn’t serious.

‘Wilf, when he comes off you know there’s a problem. I hope it’s minor. He felt a slight strain in the hamstring. Hopefully it’s not too much. We’ll see how quick we can get him back,’ van Nistelrooy said at his post-match press conference.

Ndidi has been very effective for Leicester City so far this season, starting all 15 games played so far this term and was named in Premier League’s team of the month by football statistics website, Whoscored.
