Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers hands update on James Maddison

Leicester City coach Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that James Maddison recovered from illness and is available to play. Due to his illness, the 22-year-old midfielder missed the international duty with England, but in his pre-match press conference on Thursday, Rodgers announced he will be back: “He’s fine,” said the Northern Irishman “He obviously had a knock leading into the Liverpool game and then he was ill while he was away with England. He came back, trained a few days, and he’s fine. He’s trained well today. Yesterday, he was getting back out and I expect him to be fit and ready. He was really comfortable, and I expect him to be fine.” The Foxes’ upcoming fixture will be against Burnley on Saturday, in the frames of Premier League.
