Leicester midfielder Maddison to miss second England tie

Leicester City star James Maddison looks certain to miss England's game against the USA on Friday.

The creative no.10 was recalled from the international wilderness for the 2022 World Cup by manager Gareth Southgate.

However, Maddison has not been able to feature for the team as a result of a knee problem he picked up while playing for his club.

Per The Mirror, Maddison is not 100 percent fit, and has not been able to fully participate in training with his colleagues.

However, his manager Southgate was previously confident that Maddison could play some part for England in the tournament.

After playing the USA, England will take on Wales in their final group clash before potentially moving on to the round of 16 knockout phase.
