Ndidi Shines in Return Despite Leicester Loss to Manchester United

Wilfred Ndidi made a remarkable return from a hamstring injury during Leicester City's FA Cup fourth-round match against Manchester United, despite the team losing 2-1. Ndidi, who had been sidelined since December 8, showcased his skills by leading the midfield and contributing to Leicester's opening goal before being substituted. Leicester head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy confirmed that Ndidi was fully fit and had trained well prior to the match, which was crucial for the team's performance amidst several injury concerns among other players. Following the defeat, Leicester City, currently positioned 18th in the Premier League, faces a challenging match against title contenders Arsenal next week. Ndidi's presence is expected to bolster the team's defensive stability as they navigate a tough schedule ahead. His performance highlights the significance of his return to the squad after a two-month absence.
