Super Eagles captain Wilfred Ndidi has suffered an ankle ligament injury, dealing a significant setback to Beşiktaş ahead of their UEFA Europa League second qualifying round clash against Danish outfit Midtjylland.
The Turkish giants confirmed the injury in an official statement released on Tuesday, following the Nigerian midfielder’s medical examinations at Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital.
According to the club, an MRI scan revealed ligament damage in Ndidi’s ankle, with treatment already underway under the supervision of Beşiktaş’s medical team.
In its statement, the club said: “Following an ankle injury, our player Wilfred Ndidi underwent an MRI at Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital, which revealed a ligament injury in his ankle. Our medical team has started treatment for the player.”
Beşiktaş did not disclose the extent of the injury or provide a timeline for the 29-year-old’s recovery, leaving his availability for the Europa League qualifier against Midtjylland in serious doubt.
