The accolades continue to pour in for Super Eagles star Wilfred
Ndidi and the latest recognition is the midfielder named to the U21 Team
of the Week from Europe's top five leagues that is the Premier League,
La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1.
Ndidi
put on a brilliant display in Leicester City's goalless draw with
Burnley last weekend and was subsequently named as Man of the Match
before making the Premier League Team of the Week.
Football statistics website Whoscored.com
has selected the best rated U21 from Europe's top five leagues across
the weekend action, with the Nigeria international named in central
midfield along with Lyon's Houssem Aouar.
On
Ndidi they wrote : ''Under difficult circumstances, Leicester were held
0-0 at home by Burnley on Saturday. The Foxes will feel unfortunate not
to have come away with all three points and Wilfred Ndidi was
particularly impressive for Claude Puel’s side.
''The
Nigeria international remarkably won 10 aerial duels against the
Clarets, while also completing five tackles and interceptions combined.
''Ndidi also had five efforts on goal and registered two key passes in an all-action display.''
For
the first time in 32 months, Ndidi will not suit up for the Super
Eagles in a competitive match when they face South Africa this weekend
after a late yellow card he was shown against Libya earned him an
automatic one-match ban
