Enzo Maresca delights at Wilfred Ndidi's Leicester return

Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca was delighted to welcome Wilfred Ndidi back into his side for the victory over Sunderland on Tuesday.

Jamie Vardy scored the only goal of the game after 13 minutes for the Championship leaders, to leave the club three points clear of second-placed Ipswich Town.

Ndidi came on for Yunus Akgun in the 72 minute for his first game since picking up an injury in December.

The Super Eagles player missed out on the Africa Cup of Nations as well as the Foxes' past 10 league matches and three FA Cup ties.

Speaking after the midweek clash, Maresca told the club's website: "I'm very happy. 

"We need him, Wilf is so important to us so it's good to have him back."
