Leicester City boss Claude Puel says he has options in midfield to replace Wilfred Ndidi, who will miss their Premier League game against Newcastle on Saturday.
Nigeria midfielder Ndidi was sent off in Leicester’s last game at Brighton and will miss the clash with Newcastle, but Puel has said he has enough options to fill the void that will be left by the Nigerian’s absence.
“We have three solutions with [Vicente] Iborra, [Adrien] Silva and [Hamza] Choudhury also available so we will see for Saturday our midfield,” Puel told his club’s official website.
“It’s different attributes than Wilfred and we have to find the solution to give a collective response.
“Wilfred has attributes to recover a lot of balls, he’s strong in midfield and we cannot replace him with the same attributes but we can replace him with a collective response by sharing this part of the job between all the players.”
