Matchday With The Manager: Why James Maddison Is Key For Leicester City

The 23-year-old has been absent since City faced Everton at Goodison Park on 1 July at the end of the elongated 2019/20 top-flight season, but is in contention for a return this weekend.

A bothersome hip injury has subsided and, along with returning to full fitness, Maddison agreed a new four-year contract at King Power Stadium – committing himself to Rodgers’ vision for the Foxes as they prepare to embark on another European campaign this term.
