Leicester City midfielder James Maddison has seen a specialist about his knee injury and will not play against Liverpool at Anfield on Friday.

Maddison, 26, picked up a knock against West Ham in November before going to the World Cup with England, but did not play in Qatar.

He also missed the Foxes' 3-0 defeat by Newcastle on Monday.

"[Maddison] won't be available for the game," Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers said.

"He was with Mark [Waller], our doctor, getting some special advice in London today so I'll wait to hear from them later on.

"He hasn't trained with the squad. He was clearly getting treatment out [in Qatar] and he and the medical team deemed him OK to train.

"He was available for games [for England]. He's come back here, looked to do some work, and then felt a pain in a different part of his knee."

Belgian midfielder Dennis Praet will also not feature at Anfield after being forced off against Newcastle.
