Leicester City will not consider James Maddison for their Carabao Cup tie with MK Dons.

The midfielder was given last week off after England's campaign at Qatar 2022 ended at the quarter-final stage.

The 26-year-old, who did not play in the tournament, is thought more likely to return for the Foxes' Premier League clash with Newcastle on Boxing Day.

Danny Ward, Wout Faes, Timothy Castagne, Youri Tielemans, Nampalys Mendy and Daniel Amartey, who all returned from the World Cup earlier, could be in contention as Brendan Rodgers' side bid to claim a place in the quarter-finals.

Caglar Soyuncu, Ricardo Pereira, James Justin and Ryan Bertrand all remain sidelined through injury.
