Brendan Rodgers Optimistic Over Wilfred Ndidi As His Side Earns Draw Against Alex Iwobi’s Everton

Leceister City boss, Brendan Rodgers is confident over Wilfred Ndidi’s injury in the Foxes 1-1 draw against resurgent Alex Iwobi’s Everton on Matchday 20 of the EPL season.

Everton took the lead through a sublime strike from James Rodriguez as Jordan Pickford gifted the Foxes a point after he mishandled Tielemans soft strike in the second half.

The Foxes lost midfielder Wilfred Ndidi to a hamstring injury just before half-time and centre back Jonny Evans had to be substituted in the second half but Rodgers believes neither setback is serious. 

‘It’s just tightened up,’ Rodgers said of Ndidi. ‘He doesn’t think he’s overstretched or tore it. We’ll just have to assess that. We couldn’t risk it.’

Up next for Leceister is an home clash against Leeds United and Ndidi’s participation is yet unknown.
