Wilfred Ndidi was the big name missing from the squad of the Super Eagles of Nigeria for their upcoming back to back World Cup qualifiers game against Central Africa Republic (CAR).
In the list of players released by the NFF officially today as submitted by coach of the team Gernot Rohr, the Leicester City midfielder was conspicuously missing among the midfielders called up for the games.
He was omitted alongside Oghenekaro Etebo who is out injured for five months but Ndidi was in action for Leicester City last weekend and even on their official site of his club there is no mention of him getting injured.
Our editorial team sort to exclusively hear from the coach why the 24 year old wasn’t listed and we discovered it’s in relation to an injury he picked up in training few days ago which will keep him out for two weeks.
Rohr was asked “Good morning coach, seen the list. Is Ndid injured? he played last weekend for Leicester City”, he replied “Yes injured in Training”.
