Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has submitted that Nigeria international, Wilfred Ndidi, is an important member of the Foxes’ squad.
Ndidi’s season has been blighted by injuries and made his ninth appearances in the 2-2 draw against Manchester United on Boxing Day, but Rodgers hailed the midfielder for his exciting performances.
Speaking on the club’s website, the 47-year-old manager said, “I’ve said before, he’s irreplaceable.
“There’s lots of good players that we have that can do that job, but we don’t have anyone that can do it to the level that he does.
“His reading of the game, his agility… all the numbers after the (Spurs) game show how good he is in covering space, but it’s also the confidence he gives to the other players.
“He was immense in the game, against a really good midfield. If you think of (Moussa) Sissoko and (Pierre-Emile) Højbjerg that was in there, he was absolutely outstanding,” Rogers added.
Leicester are currently second in the EPL with 28 points after 15 games.
