Erstwhile Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh has expressed worry over the current deployment of Wilfred Ndidi at Leicester City after the midfielder was played out of his preferred position in the Foxes’ 3-0 Premier league opener at newly promoted West Brom at the weekend.

Injury to center backs, Evans and Wes Morgan meant Ndidi had to be deployed to the central defense role. The player performed remarkably in the match, defending solidly as Leicester ran away 3-0 winners.

However, Oliseh in an interview with Brila said he is concerned for Ndidi especially after Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers defended the decision to field Ndidi in the center back position.

Oliseh feels the development will not favour Ndidi especially in the national team of Nigeria.

Ndidi has long been played in the defensive midfield role for club and country and Oliseh feels altering his position at this time will be counterproductive.
