Super Eagles defender Wilfred Ndidi is set to back to full training a t his English Premier League side, Leicester City.
The Foxes have been plagued with rash of injuries but sources at the club have now given updates on Ndidi and two others ahead of their weekend’s clash with fellow relegation battlers Everton.
Mads Hermansen is set to make his comeback from injury this weekend after returning to team training, having missed more than a month with a groin problem he picked up at Newcastle
Hermansen has missed more than a month of football with a groin injury he suffered at Newcastle and no previous date had been placed on his comeback. But he has been involved in team training this week and Ruud van Nistelrooy has said that he should be available for selection at Goodison Park on Saturday.
But it looks like the match will come too soon for midfielder Wilfred Ndidi though. The Nigerian has been back in partial team training this week after recovering from a hamstring injury he suffered last month, but is not due to be back in full team training until next week, in the build-up to the FA Cup tie at Manchester United.
Ricardo Pereira is back out on the grass as he recovers from his own hamstring injury. But he’s not due to be back in contention until January.
“Ricardo is recovering,” van Nistelrooy said at his press conference on Thursday afternoon. “He’s still in individual training. He’s moved outside with the physios. His rehab is going according to plan.
“Wilfred is partially involved in team training. We’ll hope to bring him into full team training next week. Mads has been back in team training this week. All being well, he will be available for selection.”
The City manager said there are no further injury problems for him as immediate concerns. With Hermansen back, it means there will just be three players out in Ndidi, Ricardo and Abdul Fatawu (knee).
