Injury blow:can nistelrooy delivers worrying update on £15 Leicester star

Leicester City continued their positive start to the Ruud van Nistelrooy era with a hard-fought point against Brighton and Hove Albion.

Leicester drew 2-2 with Brighton at the King Power Stadium after coming back from two goals behind to snatch a stoppage-time point

Jamie Vardy was so impressive as he netted and laid on an assist for Bobby De Cordova Reid whilst Boubakary Soumare continued his excellent run of form.

Leicester have now picked up four points from a possible six and sit five points above the drop zone heading into a tough run of fixtures.

City travel to Newcastle United next weekend and could be without a crucial player, as van Nistelrooy issues a worrying injury update.

Ruud van Nistelrooy issues Wilfred Ndidi injury update

Wilfred Ndidi, who joined in a £15m deal in 2017, has been a stalwart in the Leicester midfield this season and has, at times, looked back to his very best in the number six role.

Ndidi has formed an excellent partnership with Soumare in recent weeks and that was again on show today.

However, the Nigeria international was forced off just after half-time due to injury and now van Nistelrooy has issued a rather concerning update.
