International career

In January 2014, coach Claude Leroy invited Ndey to be a part of the Congo national squad for the 2014 African Nations Championship.[2][3] The Congo were eliminated in the group stage after losing to Ghana, drawing with Libya and defeating Ethiopia, with Ndey himself scoring the only goal in that match.[4][5]

Spinal cord injury

Ndey had a career-ending spinal cord injury on 26 July 2015 in a match against Zamalek SC at the 2015 CAF Confederation Cup. He arrived at the hospital with "serious damage to his spinal column between his fifth and sixth vertebra, a blow to the spinal cord, breathing difficulties and a cerebral hemorrhage".[6]

After emergency surgery, he was sent to France to help speed up his recovery.[7] The injury rendered him tetraplegic and put a stop to his career.[8]
