Wilfred Ndidi will make his UEFA Champions League debut against Sevilla in the round of 16 after been named by coach Claudio Ranieri in the starting line up for tonight’s clash at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
Ndidi will play in the midfield alongside Marc Albrighton and Danny Drinkwater, as Ranieri prefers him in the defensive midfield role ahead of Daniel Amartey.
The 19 year old is not entirely new to playing in Spain against Spanish opposition, as he starred for his former side Genk against Athletic Bilbao in the group stages of the Europa League this season.
Meanwhile his fellow Nigerian at the club Ahmed Musa will also start for the Foxes, in a three man attack alongside Riyad Mahrez and Jamier Vardy.
