Wilfred Ndidi and his Leicester City teammates continued their difficult Premier League campaign after suffering a 3-0 defeat to Newcastle United.
The result added to Leicester’s struggles as they battled to remain in England’s top flight.
Ndidi featured for Leicester but was unable to prevent Newcastle from securing a comfortable victory.
The defeat also contributed to an unwanted Premier League record for Leicester during a campaign that had been particularly difficult.
The Foxes had struggled to produce consistent results and found themselves under increasing pressure near the relegation zone.
Ndidi has remained one of Leicester’s most experienced players and has regularly been relied upon to provide defensive stability in midfield.
However, the Nigerian international and his teammates have struggled to turn performances into positive results.
The loss to Newcastle increased the pressure on Leicester with the season entering its decisive stages.
The club needed a significant improvement if they were to avoid relegation and preserve their Premier League status.
For Ndidi, the situation was particularly disappointing after spending several seasons competing at the highest level with Leicester.
The midfielder would now be hoping that the team could respond positively in their remaining fixtures.
Leicester needed points quickly and could no longer afford another prolonged run of poor results.
