James Maddison leaves World Cup training session early as England take doctor's advice

James Maddison was the only member of the 26-man England squad to miss training on Thursday in Qatar.

The Leicester City playmaker was pulled out of the full session as Three Lions chiefs continue to manage his workload, after he suffered a knee injury in the Foxes win over West Ham last weekend. Maddison had taken part in the first session on Wednesday.

Speaking after that session, the 25-year-old said: “We had a scan the day before we met up. It was a positive scan. I had a little problem in the week building up to the West Ham game and post-Everton game which was the week before for us. I wanted to play, I didn’t want to not give it a go because of the World Cup. That’s not the person I am.”
