Ndidi, who is a defensive midfielder by trade, helped the Foxes secure wins over West Bromwich Albion and Burnley in their first two games of the 2020/21 season.

Rodgers explained that Ndidi will return to his midfielder position when his defenders overcome their injury and suspension issues. Wilfred is a player that I have real confidence in,” Rodgers said on Goal.
" He played the position [centre-back] very well and he has the attributes to play there. We don’t want him there for a long period of time.”
Leicester are scheduled to face Arsenal in a Carabao Cup match on Wednesday. Ndidi made 39 appearances across all competitions for Leicester last season.
