Wilfred Ndidi returned to action in Leicester City’s pre-season and played just over an hour in the 3-1 win against Derby County on Saturday.
Ndidi picked a knock recently – before his imminent return from a lengthy injury – and missed three previous friendlies, but the 25 year-old returned to action and was named in the starting XI.
