Leicester boss Rodgers: Maddison must go to World Cup

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says James Maddison should go to the World Cup.

Rodgers was speaking after Maddison's performance in victory at Everton.

He said, "It is not a debate for me. I respect there are so many top players, so many attacking players doing well but if you can't find a player of that quality that has produced consistently as he has then it is obviously sad.

"You want to be creating and scoring goals and he is one of the best out there. He has risks at the right moment.

"An absolutely brilliant player who is ready for a World Cup with his maturity. He can do no more. He is an outstanding talent."
