Wilfred Ndidi confirms Besiktas readiness for FC Lausanne

Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has declared that his new joined team, Besiktas is ready for their UEFA Europa Conference League playoff tie against FC Lausanne-Sport.

The first-leg encounter is set to take place at the Stade de la Tuilière on Thursday night, with the Black Eagles aiming to establish a lead. Speaking to the club’s official website ahead of the crucial away fixture, Ndidi was optimistic about the team’s chances to have a positive outing.

“I think we’re ready. We’re excited; we’ve been training throughout the week. We also have a league match. Tomorrow will be a good match, and I think we’ll perform well.”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side headed into the game in good form having just defeated Eyupspor 2-1 in their Turkish Super Lig season opener last weekend.

The late-game heroics of Rafa Silva secured a crucial three points, a result that Ndidi himself played a significant role in, making his official club debut and featuring for 70 minutes in the hard-fought win.

The Istanbul side will look to secure a positive result in Switzerland ahead of the second leg which will be held in Istanbul next Thursday.
