Leicester City have been handed a boost in recent days, as midfielder Wilfred Ndidi have both returned to training.
The player was expected to be out until mid-November but has seemingly come back to fitness ahead of schedule this week.
As revealed by Leicestershire Live, the player has rejoined the squad ahead of the EFL Cup round-of-16 clash with Brighton & Hove Albion, although Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers is said to be wary of risking him at such an early stage.
Ndidi, who picked up a hamstring injury just over three weeks ago, is also looking to be ahead of schedule, having been expected to be out for “four to five weeks” as Rodgers told reporters.
Similarly, defender James Justin has been out of action since February when he suffered a serious Cruciate Ligament injury, having featured in every minute of his side’s first 23 Premier League games of the campaign up to that point.
November was identified as an ambitious target for the Englishman’s return, but he looks set to be fit for action by the turn of the month.
