Leicester City midfielder James Maddison has provided an update after he was forced off with an injury during Foxes’ 2-0 win over West Ham in a Premier League fixture on Saturday.
Maddison started for Leicester City in that game, and sent the Foxes 1-0 up in the eighth minute. The English midfielder slammed the ball into the roof of the net to finish off a promising Leicester City attack.
However, he was subbed off in the 25th minute after picking up an apparent injury. With the FIFA World Cup a week away, the injury cast his chances of going into the quadrennial event into doubt.
Maddison was one of the 26 players England manager Gareth Southgate named to the squad for the FIFA World Cup.
