Wilfred Ndidi has been training so we’ll see how he is on Friday. But if he’s not right for this week we’ll look for next week, which is good news for us. We have to be cautious. We don’t want to lose him again…When he came back it was deemed he was fit and he felt good, but he had a slight reaction, so we just wanted to be sure he was right. We need to give it that period of time. When we feel it’s the right time, we’ll bring him back in for a really important part of the season for us
