Leicester city star, Wilfred Ndidi, after suffering a knee injury in Leicester City’s Europa Conference League match against Rennes, will miss this month’s critical 2022 World Cup qualifying playoffs between Nigeria and Ghana.
After suffering an injury, Wilfred Ndidi, who was in Leicester’s starting eleven against Rennes, was forced to leave the game in the 60th minute.
After the Foxes moved to the quarter-finals 3-2 on aggregate despite losing the second leg 2-1 on Thursday night, March 17, manager Brendan Rodgers announced Ndidi’s injury in his post-match press conference.

Rodgers described Ndidi’s injury as “disappointing” after the game.
“It was disappointing. Marc (Albrighton) felt his groin a little bit. Ndidi is a block tackle so his medial ligament in his knee, so we’ll see how that is.”
According to new reports, Kenneth Omeruo is a significant doubt for the important match owing to a groin injury.
The winner of Nigeria’s two-legged match against Ghana will automatically qualify for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year.
