Brendan Rodgers believes James Maddison can stay at Leicester City to fulfil his England ambitions. Last weekend, Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate started the 26-year-old against Ukraine.
Maddison earned just his second England cap, his first coming in a 7-0 win over Montenegro three-and-a-half years ago. The midfielder was on the plane for the winter World Cup but a knee injury meant he did not make an appearance.
That injury - combined with Leicester’s poor season - has not prevented Maddison’s stock from rising. Nine goals and six assists for a side sitting just one point above the drop zone has fuelled talk about a possible summer exit.
