Nigerian international Wilfred Ndidi could be included in Leicester City team training next week. Ndidi has played just two matches under Ruud van Nistelrooy, injuring his hamstring in the 2-2 draw with Brighton in early December. Since then, City have lost all seven Premier League games they’ve played. But the Nigerian midfielder is now close to a comeback. Van Nistelrooy expects him to be back alongside his team-mates at Seagrave next week, in the build-up to the trip to Everton. “Wilfred is making very good progress in his rehabilitation. Hopefully he can be part of team training next week some time,” Van Nistelrooy stated.

Man Utd: Van Nistelrooy arrives for first match as interim manager

Ruud van Nistelrooy has arrived at Old Trafford to lead Manchester United as interim manager, stepping in after Erik ten Hag’s departure earlier this week following a difficult start to the season. Van Nistelrooy, a former United striker, will oversee his first game in charge against Leicester City in the Carabao Cup, with a place in the quarter-finals at stake. This match marks the beginning of the post-Ten Hag era, after Ten Hag secured two domestic trophies last season, including the Carabao Cup, which ended United’s six-year trophy drought. Van Nistelrooy had been appointed as Ten Hag’s assistant over the summer in anticipation of Ten Hag’s third season, but now finds himself leading the team in a transitional period. United are actively pursuing a new permanent manager, with Ruben Amorim from Sporting Lisbon as the top candidate. Amorim arrived at Sporting’s headquarters on Wednesday to conduct training but faces a potential mid-season exit that some players reportedly view with concern. Sporting confirmed on Tuesday that Amorim’s £8.3 million release clause had been paid, leaving the final decision up to the manager.
