James Maddison will be back for Leicester City to face Leeds United having recovered from a bout of illness according to Foxes' boss Dean Smith. The England international was due to face Wolves at the weekend, but experienced a sickness bug overnight.
The midfielder said he was “devastated” not to play a part, but it didn't matter with the Premier League strugglers picking up an important three points. Smith believes Maddison will be back in training on Monday with winger Harvey Barnes, who has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, also on track to return against the Whites and has scored in his last five appearances against the Whites
Smith told Leicester Live after the 2-1 win over Wolves: “I got the dreaded call this morning from the grim reaper, the doctor, who told me (Maddison) had been ill during the night and that he wasn’t going to be available. But he should be available for Tuesday. I’d hope he will be ready to train on Monday.
