Leicester City manager Claude Puel has confirmed that Wilfried Ndidi picked a hamstring injury in Saturday's 5-0 loss to Crystal Palace while hinting it could hinder the midfielder's chances of featuring at the World Cup.
The Super Eagles midfielder was forced off after 51 minutes of play as the King Power Stadium outfit were outmuscled by Roy Hodgson's side.
Puel, uncertain about the severity of the injury, hopes the 21-year-old can make Nigeria’s squad to the World Cup in Russia.
“I hope it is not a serious injury for Ndidi and I hope he can play in the World Cup, all the scenarios today were bad for us,” Puel told club website.
