Ndidi went the distance in the four matches played by the Foxes in March, helping the club record three successive victories against Fulham, Burnley and Bournemouth.

On Ndidi, Josh Wright wrote : ''Leicester midfielder Wilfred Ndidi pips Romain Saiss to the WhoScored Player of the Month award in the Premier League after making more appearances than the Wolves man in March.

''Ndidi made at least 10 more tackles than any other player in the Premier League last month (28) and also won possession in the middle third the most (27). ''

In their next match in the Premier League, Ndidi and his teammates travel to already-relegated Huddersfield Town on Saturday, April 6.
