Ndidi Returns from Injury for Nigeria's Key Friendlies

Wilfred Ndidi has made a timely return from injury ahead of Nigeria's crucial international friendlies against Portugal on June 10 and Poland on June 3. Ndidi, who plays for Besiktas JK, completed 90 minutes in a Turkish Cup quarter-final match, helping his team secure a 3-0 victory against Alanyaspor.

He had been sidelined since early April due to a hamstring injury sustained during a derby against Fenerbahce, which caused him to miss several league fixtures. His absence was notably felt in the midfield, but his return is expected to stabilize the team as they prepare for a demanding summer schedule.

Ndidi's recovery is anticipated to enhance Nigeria's midfield options as they gear up for these important matches.
