Ndidi has missed the Foxes\u2019 last three games across all competitions after sustaining an injury in training.<\/p>\n

Manager Brendan Rodgers has however provided a positive injury update on the Nigeria international ahead of the encounter against Antonio Conte\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s back in training and hopefully should be fine for the weekend,\u201d Rodgers told the club\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n

Ndidi struggled to stay fit in recent times battling with one injury or another.<\/p>\n

His international teammate, Kelechi Iheanacho, is also expected to be included in Leicester City\u2019s squad for the game.<\/p>\n

Iheanacho scored once and provided two assists in the club\u2019s 4-2 win at Aston Villa last weekend.<\/p>\n
