Leicester City's Endidi 2025: A Look Back at the Premier League Return of Their Premier League Dream Team

Leicester City's Endidi, the Nigerian international who has been a key player for the club since his arrival in 2017, is set to return to the Premier League after a two-year absence.

The defender, who was part of the team that won promotion from the Championship in 2016-17, will make his comeback on Sunday when Leicester face Crystal Palace at the King Power Stadium.

Endidi has been a key figure for the Foxes this season, helping them to secure a top-four finish and reach the Europa Conference League final.

He has also been a regular in the Nigeria national team, earning him a call-up to the senior squad earlier this year.

In his interview with the BBC, Endidi said he was "excited" about returning to the Premier League and playing for his country.

"I'm just happy to be back in the Premier League and I'm looking forward to playing for my country," he said.

"I want to do well for the club and for myself, but above all, I want to play for my country."

Endidi's return comes as a relief for Leicester fans, who have endured a difficult season without their star player.

But the defender believes that the club's fans can still believe in the team and that they will continue to fight for success.

"I think we've got a lot of belief in ourselves and our supporters, and I think they'll continue to support us," he said.

"We're going to work hard, we're going to play our best football and hopefully we'll come out victorious."
