Leicester City have lost Wilfred Ndidi for the season due to injury.

The Nigeria international midfielder underwent surgery after coming off during Leicester's UEFA Europa Conference League last-16, second leg tie with Rennes on March 17.

His manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Ndidi won't feature again this season and will rehabilitate with the aim of returning for the start of pre-season.

Rodgers said: "Wilfred Ndidi will be out for the season, it's a shame for us but he'll get ready for next season.

"It's unfortunate. He's been a brilliant player for me in my time here. He picked up a nasty injury that has had to have surgery on and he'll recover now until June."
