James Maddison

Leicester City No.10 James Maddison celebrates his opener for the Foxes at Aston Villa last month.

"We’ve got a clean bill of health from last night," Brendan Rodgers told the national media on Thursday.

"[James Maddison is] still continuing with the medical team. As I’ve always said with James, there’s no timeline on it, we’re just hoping that gradually he'll feel better. He’s had the reassurance of a few scans to know that he doesn’t need any operation.

"It’s just a little bit irritable where he’s had a previous operation, but we’re hopeful that, over these next weeks, he will get better and it’ll be great to have him in the squad again."

Ayoze Pérez's breakaway goal and a penalty from Jamie Vardy booked a fifth successive Premier League victory for Leicester City in a 2-0 triumph over Brighton at AMEX Stadium on 23 November, 2019.

Vardy's spot-kick - taken for a second time - saw City's No.9 extend his scoring run to 21 goals in 23 top-flight appearances under the management of Brendan Rodgers as the Foxes sat second in the Premier League.
