Ndidi had surgery on a knee injury he sustained in training earlier in the month which is expected to keep him out for about four weeks. 

Giving an update on the midfielder, Leicester City coach Rodgers said Ndidi has started working out on the pitch. 

“Ndidi has made great progress. He’s out on the pitch, working,” Rodgers said ahead of Leicester City’s league visit to Burnley.

The visit to Burnley will be Leicester City’s third game without the influential Ndidi who has made 20 league appearances so far this season.
