Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has returned to training after being sidelined since December due to a thigh injury.
The 28-year-old has been gradually reintegrated into team sessions, with hopes of a full return next week.
Despite his absence, Ndidi remains a hot prospect in the transfer market, with reports linking him to a potential move to AS Monaco as Leicester grapples with financial challenges.
The Foxes may be forced to offload key players to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules.
Having provided four assists in 15 Premier League appearances this season, Ndidi’s return is a boost for Leicester ahead of their trip to Everton.
However, head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy has hinted that the match might come too soon for the Nigerian midfielder.
