It’s such a shame James Maddison is not in the England squad
Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has said that it is a shame that James Maddison is not a part of the England squad at the moment. Maddison scored a brace in Leicester’s first win of the season.
Maddison scored a brace to help the Foxes move off the foot of the Premier League table with a win over Forest as he continued his good form for the team.
Speaking after the game, as quoted by Reuters, Rodgers said that it’s a shame that the midfielder isn’t in the England squad at the moment. The Leicester manager said he hopes Maddison can continue his form and force his way into the Three Lions team.
“It’s such a shame I think for the country and for the boy himself (that he’s not in the England squad),” Rodgers told Sky Sports television.
“You see his talent and his performance level for the last 18 months is clear. I think it’s only Harry Kane who has been involved in more goals among English players.
“He’s an absolutely brilliant player and I really hope over the next few months he can continue the form he’s shown for the past 18 months and can somehow get into the (England) team,” added Rodgers.
To have him there if you’re in trouble in any game, you know he can beat a man, make a pass, you saw his free-kick tonight. He’s got so many qualities that are deserving of at least being in the squad.
