Why Ndidi was dropped from the starting lineup: Rodgers, manager of Leicester

Brendan Rodgers, manager of Leicester City, has explained why he dropped Wilfred Ndidi from the starting lineup in recent matches. Since his January 2017 transfer from Belgian Pro League champions KRC Genk to the King Power Stadium, Ndidi has been a consistent starter. The midfielder had a difficult time staying fit the previous season and has already missed a few games this year due to injury.
“We’ve got a really busy schedule in January,” according to Rodgers. “I had a good sit-down with him and a really honest conversation and he knows what he’s been at in terms of the level when I first came in here for a couple of years.
“He has struggled with a number of injuries but it’s just a case of sometimes coming away from the team and working on the training field and just resetting everything,” he added.
Ndidi, according to Rodgers, is training hard and will soon get his moment. There is no question that he will be prepared to start in the upcoming weeks because "I can see that in training that has helped him to have that freshness back in his game," the coach continued. Ndidi has made seven Premier League starts this year for Leicester City.
