Brendan Rodgers provides James Maddison injury update as he limps off before World Cup

Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that James Maddison is "fine" after after being forced off during Leicester's clash with West Ham, just a week before the World Cup gets underway.

The midfielder was included in Gareth Southgate's squad for Qatar on Thursday, having enjoyed a stunning Premier League season so far. He celebrated that call-up by scoring the opening goal at the London Stadium, firing high into the net after just eight minutes.

But just 17 minutes after scoring that goal, Maddison had to be substituted after appearing to suffer a leg injury. The midfielder had just taken a corner when he began grabbing the back of his leg, which ultimately saw him being led off by Leicester's medical team.
