Leicester City host West Ham United on Wednesday night in the Premier League as they look to return to winning ways after defeat last time out to Burnley.
Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers has delivered a positive injury update on midfielder Wilfried Ndidi, who has recovered faster than expected following surgery on his knee.
Yes, there’s a great chance he’ll be in the squad for tomorrow. We’ll see how he is from today. He’s made an incredible recovery. I think that’s the thing with the type of operation he had, people will recover in different timescales. For Wilf it was 11 days.”

Ndidi may be included in the Leicester match day squad but Rodgers confirmed that his recovery will not be rushed and will be incorporated back into the playing eleven slowly.
“We’ll give it another period of time just to make sure that he feels good and feels right in himself. He wasn’t one that we wanted to rush, but over the course of the last number of days he’s been fantastic. He’s been in duels, he’s had the test and if there was going to be any effects, it would have taken place over the last few days. He’s come through it really well.”
