Super Eagles and Leicester City midflielder, Wilfred Onyinye Ndidi, has blamed himself for his side’s relegation to the EFL Championship from the English top flight, Soccernet.ng reports.

The presence of the 28-year-old meant stability for the Foxes, but he was out of action between December and February due to a hamstring problem, missing eleven games for Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s side.

In Ndidi’s absence, Leicester won just a game in the English Premier League, which further led to the confirmation of their Championship status ahead of next season.

Leicester have now been elevated from the English top-flight twice in three seasons, which is a terrible decline as they won the League just about a decade ago.

Still, Ndidi chose to hold the blame, as he feels he should have defended better so his side wouldn’t have conceded as many goals.

“I feel like I should have done more when it comes to defending. I’m playing in a higher position, but I feel like I should have done more. Even when I’m up there, I should have come back to help,” the ex-Genk midfielder said in quotes revealed by One Football.

Leicester City have conceded 76 goals in 35 league games, the second-most in the English top-flight while Joe Aribo’s Southampton have swallowed up 82 goals.

These numbers affirm Ndidi’s statement as all three teams who conceded 70+ goals were relegated to the EFL Championship.
