Brendan Rodgers discusses the return of Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi following his hamstring injury.

Brendan Rodgers says "it is great" to have midfielder Wilfred Ndidi back in the team after recovering from a hamstring injury.

The Leicester City player has missed seven games during that time, but he was a surprise inclusion on the bench at the weekend for the defeat against Arsenal.

However, even though Ndidi was named in the matchday squad, Rodgers opted not to use him, which means his return to the team could take place on Thursday when the Foxes face Spartak Moscow.

"Hopefully. He has just trained this week. He was one that if we needed him for 15 or 20 minutes maximum, that was our plan, but chasing the game (against Arsenal) there wasn't that need to put him on," Rodgers told the press.

"It is great to have him back and available and we will see how his fitness looks over the coming days."

Leicester will play Spartak Moscow in their latest Europa League fixture, with the two teams occupying the bottom places in Group C.
