With everything now a bit under control, a provisional date of June 17, 2020, has been set as restart date for the suspended season and Ndidi who alongside his teammates were having a superb campaign, is confident that the Foxes are ready to return provided all safety measures and requirements are met.
I would say we’re ready because even during the lockdown, everyone was working at home. So, we’re always ready and we’ll just see what comes next. We’re just working hard. Everyone is keeping fit, working hard and the mentality is great, so we’ll just see what comes in the coming days
