James Maddison trained with the England squad on Saturday afternoon to give Gareth Southgate hope that the Leicester midfielder’s World Cup is set for take-off.
Maddison is yet to feature for the Three Lions in Qatar after aggravating a knee injury in the Foxes’ clash with West Ham before the tournament. He has been training on his own and undergoing treatment - but is now in the frame to play a part in the final group game against Wales on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old forced his way into England’s 26-man squad with some impressive performances for his club. But he has been a spectator as England followed a thumping 6-2 victory over Iran with a disappointing goalless draw against the United States.
