James Maddison has admitted he is "desperate" to play some minutes at the World Cup - but reiterated his dedication to the cause as England prepare to face France in the quarter-finals on Saturday.
The Leicester midfielder has been one of the standout midfielders in the Premier League over the past 12 months, grabbing 18 goals and 12 assists since the start of last season - more than any every other Englishman apart from Harry Kane in the top flight.
However, Maddison has been overlooked at the tournament and is one of only five players yet to play a minute for the Three Lions. Conor Coady, Nick Pope, Conor Gallagher and Aaron Ramsdale have also failed to get onto the pitch in Qatar, although Maddison missed the first two group matches due to a knee injury he picked up in early November.
