Ndidi rated 4/10 in Leicester City draw at Ipswich, subbed off for the fifth time

Wilfred Ndidi has been very reliable for Leicester City since he joined the club in January 2017 but the 27 year old put almost every foot wrong at Portman Road where a late Jordan Ayew goal secured a point for the Foxes against Ipswich.

The Nigerian was on the pitch for 71 minutes in his 202nd Premier League appearance but, according to the Leicester Mercury, his performance was below average.

The influential newspaper rated the Super Eagle four out of 10 and described his performance thus: ‘He (Ndidi) played a lovely through ball to (Jamie) Vardy in the opening stages, but was barely involved after that. He’s usually good at stamping his mark on a game, but did so neither from an attacking nor defensive perspective.’

It was Ndidi’s 10th start in 10 Premier League games for the Foxes so far this season.

He was subbed off for Boubakary Soumaré with just 19 minutes left in regulation time and it was the fifth time this season he has been subbed off, the most by any Nigerian so far in the competition this season.

Overall, Ndidi has been subbed off 31 times in 202 games to rank as the 10th Nigerian to be subbed off in Premier League history.

Ndidi has now drawn 42 of the 202 games he has played in the competition and has scored seven times and provided 13 assists.
