Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Wilfred Ndidi has joined the injury list ahead of Nigeria\u2019s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

Leicester City manager, Enzo Maresca revealed on Friday that the midfielder is suffering from a muscular injury and will be out of action for an extended period.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only one is Wilf,\u201d Maresca revealed in his pre-match press conference on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat looks a bit more than tiredness as we thought at the beginning, so he probably has to stay out some days or weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not an important problem, just a muscular problem that we thought was not important. It\u2019s not big, but I think at least for some days or weeks he going to be out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Napoli forward Victor Osimhen has already been ruled out of the two matches due to a thigh injury.<\/p>\n

Taiwo Awoniyi, Samuel Chukwueze and Semi Ajayi are all doubtful for the qualifiers.<\/p>\n
