The Super Eagles square off against their West African rivals Ghana in a crucial World Cup qualifier doubleheader, but Ndidi will not be available
There has been a series of mixed reactions from fans following Super Eagles Midfielder Wilfred Ndidi's in Leicester City's 2-1 loss to Rennes in the round of 16 of their Europa Conference League tie.
The former Genk man was taken off for James Maddison on the hour mark after he went down with an injury. After the game, Foxes' boss Brendan Rodgers revealed that Ndidi had sustained a knee ligament injury.
Knee ligament injuries take up to a month before full recovery, which invariably means that Ndidi would be out of the doubleheader.
The Super Eagles star is arguably one of the best in his positions and would have been a crucial part of the game against Ghana.
Most Ghanaian fans are delighted with Ndidi's potential absence, but Nigerian fans are sore, as there is hardly any tested and trusted midfielder that would fit into his position.

Super Eagles technical crew can empoly Awaziem or Semyi Ajayi on defensive midfield instead of Ndidi , because they have strong attributes and high sensibility on any defensive job center backs or defensive midfield; this a technical solution for this dilemma.
