Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi was a starter in Leicester City’s FA Cup quarter-final match against Chelsea on Sunday.

Ndidi, who recently returned from a muscle injury, marked his third consecutive appearance for Leicester City as they faced Chelsea in the crucial cup tie.

Although his return to the squad brought some strength to Leicester’s midfield, it wasn’t enough to secure a victory against Chelsea in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Despite his efforts, the Foxes succumbed to a 4-2 loss against the formidable Chelsea side.

The Nigerian played for 77 minutes, contributing to Leicester’s efforts on the field.

However, his compatriot Kelechi Iheanacho remained an unused substitute throughout the game.

Leicester City, the Championship leaders, showed resilience by rallying from a two-goal deficit to equalize the score at 2-2.

However, their hopes were dashed as Chelsea scored two late goals, sealing Leicester’s exit from the competition.
