Wilfred Ndidi has voiced his frustration after Leicester City fell to a 2-0 defeat against Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday, despite the Gunners fielding a depleted squad.
The Foxes put up a resilient display but were undone by two late goals from substitute Mikel Merino, extending their losing streak to three consecutive matches.
The defeat leaves Leicester in 19th place with 17 points, two adrift of safety.
For Arsenal, the victory keeps them within four points of league leaders Liverpool, who are set to face Wolverhampton later today.
Ndidi acknowledged his team’s effort but admitted they were unfortunate not to come away with a better result.
It was a tough game, we held on until they scored the first goal, he told Leicester TV.
The Nigerian midfielder added that despite the setback, the team remained compact and attempted to counter Arsenal’s dominant possession.
Having returned to the starting lineup after an absence since December, Ndidi expressed satisfaction with his physical condition.
He emphasized the need to stay fit and focused for the challenges ahead, as Leicester continue their battle to avoid relegation.
