Leicester star Maddison fumes over Alves shocker: Not sure I should comment publicly but...

Leicester City star James Maddison has called for an investigation into a horror challenge in an FA Cup Youth game.

Foxes starlet Will Alves was on the receiving end of a "horrific" challenge from Wolves starlet Caden Voice.

And following a day of outrage over the challenge, which has seen Alves suffer ACL damage and will see him miss nine months of action, Maddison took to Twitter to share his thoughts.

He said: "Wasn't sure whether to comment on this publicly but feel like it really needs to be looked at.

"This tackle is not acceptable in any way. I'm devastated for young Will.

"A brilliant kid with a bright future now having to recover from this horrific challenge."
