Leicester City will be without a key player this Saturday as they face Newcastle United at St. James’ Park. This absence comes at a tough time for the struggling Foxes, who will have to rely on replacements to fill the gap. Injuries and suspensions can severely impact any team’s season, and Leicester may not have the depth to cope like their wealthier Premier League rivals.
The missing player, whose injury is expected to keep him out for a couple of weeks, could miss up to three crucial matches. However, the situation is unclear, as manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has offered a vague update on the midfielder’s recovery. With vital games ahead, including matches against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Liverpool, and Manchester City, Leicester’s prospects look uncertain without him.
Wilfred Ndidi, who has formed a strong midfield partnership with Boubakary Soumare, is the player in question. Ndidi will be unavailable for Saturday’s match against Newcastle and could also miss upcoming fixtures. The hamstring injury he sustained may sideline him for a while, and his match fitness could delay his return.
