Ndidi sidelined with hamstring injury, Beşiktaş confirms

Wilfred Ndidi is set for a spell on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury, Turkish giants Beşiktaş J.K. have confirmed.

The defensive midfielder picked up the injury late in Sunday’s league clash against Fenerbahçe S.K., forcing him off in the closing stages of the encounter.

In an official update released on Tuesday, the club stated:

“Our football player Wilfred Ndidi, who was unable to continue playing in the 85th minute of our A Team’s Trendyol Super League match against Fenerbahçe due to pain in his hamstring, underwent an MRI at Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital, which revealed a strain and bleeding in his hamstring muscle (biceps femoris),” reads a statement on the club’s official website.

“Wilfred Ndidi’s treatment has been started by our medical team.”

Ndidi, 29, has contributed two goals in 22 league appearances for the Black Eagles this season.

He joined the Istanbul-based side from Leicester City F.C. last summer.
