Ndidi sent off

[cic old boy]

2nd yellow against Brighton. 87 mins. Did he deserve it? Yes, Ndidi.

[Chief Ogbunigwe]

In Deed-i

[pajimoh]

His first RED in the Heeeee Peeeeeeee Heeeellllllllll. INDID-I

[kawawa]

His first RED in the Heeeee Peeeeeeee Heeeellllllllll. INDID-I

I don’t think his first. Someone help. I think he also had two yellows in another game this season

He also recieved a red against Crystal palace earlier this season and thus missed the game against City.

Good, a small break will do him good.

On a more serious note, he does give away not an insignificant number of fouls..... if any player is most likely to be suspended during the WC then it'll be he. And he'd be a big loss.

Actually the most foul prone Nigerian player is Onazi.

Interesting.

The more pertinent stat might be to know which player picks up most cards.

Someone need to talk to him before the world cup

I think that 2d yellow was dodgy at best...

For starters, it looked a dive by the Brighton dude to me. However, even if it wasn't (several replays were inconclusive), it was not such an egregious foul or a professional foul that given the circumstances the ref could not have exercised some discretion and let it go. It was just two players each honestly going for the ball (which had run away from the Brighton player).

Oh pls! Talk to him for what??

[oloye]

Another dodgy incompetent call from the English ref who appears to be suffering from daylight blindness.

[Dammy]

It is obvious why no English referee is officiating at the WC. Both yellow cards to Ndidi were dodgy especially the second one and a good referee would have allowed common sense to prevail. I hope Leicester appeal the cards.

They cannot appeal a send-off based on 2 yellow cards. Weird rule...

Ndidi has been playing every minute for club and country including a grueling overtime prior to the break. This may turn out good. Coach doesn't have a choice but to give him some rest now

Garth Crooks in today's BBC football used the 2nd yellow card issued to Ndidi as a reason why EPL referees are exempted by FIFA from the WC.

Crooks will always say things in favour of Nigerians and Nigeria because his wife na Naija babe, unlike that crazy Mike Bright

EXCLUSIVE: Rohr Reveals How Ndidi Will Be Kept Fresh, Fit For World Cup
3 April 25, 2018 5:00 pm

By Kayode Ogundare:

Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi will undergo a special training programme at the Super Eagles’ pre-World Cup training camp, according to national team coach Gernot Rohr.

In an exclusive interview with Completesportsnigeria.com, Rohr revealed his fears of possible burnout for the 21-year old midfielder who has played a total of 43 games this season for club and country.

“Ndidi is playing so many games without the benefit of a Christmas break or holiday. I talked to his manager Claude Puel to give him a break after our two friendly games in which we also needed him to play so we couldn’t rest him. The manager listened to my appeal and gave him one match to rest which I don’t think was enough,” Rohr told CSN.

Rohr has therefore devised a means of keeping the player in top shape ahead of the first Russia 2018 game against Croatia on June 16.

“The good thing however is that Ndidi is young and committed so I believe he will recover quickly,” Rohr explained to CSN. “We plan to give him one week break after his club’s last game of the season before he will join up with the national team. Then we will start a specific programme for him to allow him recover fully before the first game against Croatia.”

Ndidi has played 32 of his team’s 34 Premier League games this season, missing two games as a result of suspension, three FA Cup games and twice in the English Football League Cup. He also played six games for Nigeria since the start of the season, making him one of the busiest players going to the World Cup.

The former KRC Genk of Belgium star, who has been rated the best tackler in the English Premier League, has played 15 times for the Super Eagles since making his debut and is one of just three players to play in each of Nigeria’s six World Cup qualifying games on the way to Russia 2018.
