News about Wilfred Ndidi

Nigeria's clash with Libya has been called off after their players claimed they were left stranded at an airport in the country for hours with no food or drink. The two teams faced off in Nigeria in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Friday, with the Super Eagles winning 1-0 courtesy of Fissayo Dele-Bashiru's late strike. However, Libya said they faced 'poor treatment' surrounding that game and ahead of the return match on Tuesday, Nigeria's stars were left fuming - with Leicester star Wilfred Ndidi even claiming the players were being held 'hostage' - before they revealed they would boycott the match in protest.

Nigeria's clash with Libya has descended into chaos after their players were left stranded at an airport in the country with no food or drink. The two teams faced off in Nigeria in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Friday, with the Super Eagles winning 1-0 courtesy of Fissayo Dele-Bashiru's late strike. However, Libya said they faced 'poor treatment' surrounding that game and ahead of the return match on Tuesday, Nigeria's stars have now been left fuming.

ISAAN KHAN AT THE EMIRATES STADIUM: At times, it felt like Arsenal vs Mads Hermansen. As he dived one way then the next, the Danish goalkeeper had become the architect for Leicester to nearly walk away with something. It was James Justin's outrageous first-time volley off Wilfred Ndidi's cross that equalised the score at 2-2. Hermansen, however, pulled off a series of saves beyond the call of order to keep his team on hanging. The 24-year-old must've watched a David Raya compilation tape from this season. The heroics today were nearly in that bracket.

Arsenal fans were furious during Saturday's game against Leicester when Wilfred Ndidi avoided a second yellow card despite clearly kicking the ball away. The incident occurred in the 35th minute after Bukayo Saka had been fouled by Stephy Mavididi.  Ndidi - who had been booked four minutes earlier for fouling Riccardo Calafiori - then jogged over to the ball and kicked it past Saka and off the pitch. This was similar to an incident which resulted in Leandro Trossard being sent off away at Manchester City last weekend. Gunners midfielder Declan Rice has also received a second yellow card this season for kicking the ball away and 'delaying the restart' - something referees were instructed to clamp down on over the summer.

IAN HERBERT AT THE EMIRATES: Just as Arsenal looked set to drop two valuable point, Trossard popped up again to bundle home a winner via a deflection off Wilfred Ndidi in the fourth minute of stoppage time, before Kai Havertz poked home from close range to wrap up the victory. But who were the standout performers for the Gunners? And who had a game to forget? Mail Sport's IAN HERBERT was on hand to rate the Arsenal players at the Emirates.

ALEX JENNINGS AT SELHURST PARK: It has been a fortnight of points salvaged and points spurned for Leicester. A win in the courtroom was minutes away from being followed up by a win on the pitch. But while the Foxes' lawyers showed no lack of cunning or nouse in winning their case against the Premier League and avoiding a widely expected points deduction for financial irregularities by squeezing through a loophole, their players couldn't quite muster the same level of savviness at Selhurst Park. They had put in the hard yards, too. Leicester were the better side in the first half. Wilfred Ndidi was the best player on the pitch by a distance. Jamie Vardy rolled back the years. They went 2-0 up - through Vardy and Stephy Mavididi - and it wasn't undeserved.

Soule is one of the brightest prospects in Serie A and has already turned down approaches to play for Italy, preferring instead to represent Argentina, the country of his birth. The 21-year-old is available this summer as Juventus seek to stay within spending rules though he is valued at about £34million - a figure no club has yet met.

TOM COLLOMOSSE: Even the sweetest champagne can cause a painful hangover and despite regaining their Premier League status, Leicester City may all too soon experience the morning after the night before. A season that could end with 100 points and the Championship title is cause for much celebration, but the problem is that the euphoria may not last too long.

LEWIS STEELE AT THE KING POWER STADIUM: One more. After a toiling season of ups and downs for Pep Guardiola's former right-hand man Enzo Maresca at Leicester, the finish line is in sight.  A bit later than many predicted, but the Foxes are now just one win away from returning to the Premier League. A hat-trick from Abdul Fatawu, plus goals from Wilfred Ndidi and Jamie Vardy, helped them to a thumping victory over a sub-par Southampton who looked more like relegation fodder than promotion hopefuls.

GRAHAM HILL AT KING POWER STADIUM AND GRAHAM THOMAS AT CARDIFF CITY STADIUM: Foxes boss Maresca admitted his side pulled off a 'lucky' win over West Brom, but his team now need two victories from their remaining three games to make sure of a return to the Premier League at the first time of asking. There is a scenario where they could go up on Tuesday night if they beat Southampton at the King Power Stadium, but that depends on Leeds losing at Middlesbrough on Monday.

Promotion to the Premier League is one of the most lucrative prizes in sport but nobody in the Championship seems to want to claim it. One after another, Leicester, Leeds United and Ipswich have stumbled in recent weeks, allowing Southampton back into the race for automatic promotion when it seemed only three weeks ago that the play-offs were the best they could hope for. Saints are the side with momentum and their clash with Leicester at King Power Stadium on Tuesday looks pivotal. Before that, Leicester have an equally tricky fixture at home to West Brom on Saturday.

Leicester managers believe they are at risk of breaking spending legislation, putting the club in danger of a points deduction in the future. Despite a recent stumble, the Foxes are expected to return to the Premier League right away, although off-field issues appear to cast a pall over the remainder of their campaign. Leicester were dropped from the top flight last season but they are currently in the Championship, but they are still leading the tournament in the final ten games of the season.

AFCON is finally here, following months of rumors over which players will be ruled out of club action for up to four weeks. Following the most recent round of play, the continental tournament will take place from January 13 to February 11, with players having to join their national teams. This year's edition of the Ivory Coast will be held in Senegal, with Senegal as the reigning champions after defeating Egypt on penalties in the 2021 tournament (which took place in 2002).

WONDERS OF THE PYRAMID: Just like that, we're now in the second half of the Championship season, with tables starting to get more organized, but there is a lot more to play for. With Leicester leading Ipswich Town by six points after the two shared a point each in their Boxing Day blockbuster brawl at Portman Road, the battle for supremacy is heating up. With Southampton chasing down the front-runners just five points behind the Tractor Boys, they will have to look in their rear-view mirrors, with fellow recently promoted Leeds not far behind either.

Xavi's side is continuing to build their squad as they prepare to return to the top of Europe's best, winning LaLiga last season but currently third and four points off top position in the standings. They have been blessed with a slew of talented midfielders, including the likes of Gavi and Pedri, but they are keen to grow in this area over the next 12 months. The summer transfer window has long been closed, but if teams want to jump ahead, or wait until the summer, the teams will have a chance to rise to their ranks.

TOM PRENTKI AT ST MARY'S: Leicester are now at the top of the Championship after another night of mauling at St Mary's, which was at times reminiscent of the 9-0 win in 2019. Southampton would require an implosion to match the farcical performance just four years ago, but Russell Martin's team was determined to try it again, with their defence often cut open by Enzo Maresca's team. They have now lost nine goals in two games. Stephy Malvididi pounded Shea Charles to play a one-two with Jamie Vardy, who scored from the edge of the area, but they were behind after 21 seconds.

LEICESTER 0-1 HULL RYAN WALKER AT THE KP STADIUM: Leicester City's 100 percent winning streak in the Championship came to a disappointing close when Hull stoked the early season pacesetters back to earth in a smash-and-grab victory. If the Foxes were Premier League bound, this result was certainly not one that would put them very far in the English top-flight, as Liam Delap's first-half goal gave the Tigers three points at what remains one of the Championship's toughest grounds to visit. Despite a sea of blue being ready to pounce, the visitor's weren't afraid to show their confidence as they played out from the back with passes between goalkeeper and defense continuing throughout.

As we approach Friday's 11 p.m. deadline, the Premier League clubs are likely to wrap up their transfer business. Some top-flight clubs have held off waiting until the last minute to bring players in, while others have seen changed circumstances that have brought them right back to the market, while others have said no, and some are completely done. In the last hours of the summer season, Mail Sport takes you through what each of the 20 Premier League clubs still needs.

ADAM SHERGOLD OF PRENTON PARK: If Wilfred Ndidi really does leave Leicester for their bitter rivals Nottingham Forest in the coming days, at least he left something sweet to remember him by. The Nigerian midfielder has been an excellent servant for the Foxes, appearing in almost 250 games, but would not hesitate to play in the Premier League. Forest is not on the acceptable list for any Foxes fan, but Ndidi has clearly signed off with a goal and an assist as Leicester progressed to the Carabao Cup third round.

Wilfred Ndidi, a Leicester midfielder, is making a bid for Nottingham Forest midfielder Wilfred Ndidi. Forest has signed personal terms with Ndidi as they continue to develop in midfield. Since being active in the division for 192 years, Ndidi has a wealth of Premier League experience. In the early stages of this season, the Nigerian has played for Leicester in the Championship, but will relish the opportunity to return to Premier League football.

The 2023-24 Championship campaign will begin on Friday night after months of preparations, paper work, and planning. Southampton has been relegated to Hillsborough for a match against Sheffield Wednesday in the season opener. After a disappointing campaign last season, the Saints will be hoping to return to the top-flight right away.

Leicester is set to cash in on several first-team players this summer, with Kelechi Iheanacho expected to Premier League clubs for the right price, while Harvey Barnes is expected to join Newcastle. Some players who may leave in the coming weeks are Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi, Boubakary Soumare, and Timothy Castagne, among those who may leave in the coming weeks.

If Everton somehow get something against Manchester City today, the Foxes could be three points adrift of security by the time they host Liverpool on Monday. Of course, victories will not depose Leicester from the relegation zone. When Maddison grumbled after the Fulham defeat that the players lacked hunger, regardless of how stringently he attempted to clarify his comments, is it any wonder many who follow them are resigned to their fate?

James Maddison, a Leicester midfielder, has been ruled out of his team's game against Wolves due to illness. Leicester's key players' absence is a blow to them as they look to win what could be a crucial victory in their fight to prevent relegation from the Premier League. Maddison is off due to sickness, but Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Wilfred Ndidi are on the bench at King Power Stadium, although Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Wilfred Ndidi are on the bench.
