Ndidi’s hamstring injury returns, fights for fitness against Bournemouth

Wilfred Ndidi is doubtful for Leicester City’s next game against Bournemouth after he was forced out of last weekend’s 4-0 win over Nottinham Forest.
Ndidi could not continue the game at the King Power Stadium on Monday night, and coach Brendan Rodgers confirmed that his hamstring was hurting, the same injury that made him pull out of the Nigeria, Algeria friendly in late August.
But while he was substituted, there are no concerns that it will rule him out for an extended period. He will now fight to be fit to travel to Bournemouth this Saturday.
“He felt his hamstring a little bit,” Rodgers said on Ndidi.
“We think he’ll be okay. He came out of the international break with that, so we just needed to protect him.”
