Wilfred Ndidi suffered an injury in Leicester City’s 1-1 draw against Everton in Wednesday’s Premier League game.

The 24-year-old was handed his 11th league appearance of the season but only played for 42 minutes before suffering a knock.

The Nigeria international was subsequently replaced by Papy Mendy in the encounter to avoid aggravating the problems.

James Rodriguez opened the scoring for the Goodison Park outfit in the 30th minute before Youri Tielemans levelled proceedings to ensure the game ended with a share of points.

Ndidi’s compatriot and teammate Kelechi Iheanacho was an unused substitute while Alex Iwobi featured for 10 minutes for Everton

The draw helped Brendan Rodgers’ men stretch their unbeaten run across all competitions to nine games which ensured they kept their place in the third spot on the league table after gathering 39 points from 20 games.

Everton meanwhile moved to seventh with 33 points from 18 games and Iwobi will hope to make a more impactful showing in their next league game against Newcastle United on January 30.

Ndidi has been struggling with various injuries since the start of the season which has limited his playing time to 15 games across all competitions. (Goal)
