Maddison says Barnes right to be frustrated at Leicester

Leicester City midfielder James Maddison says Harvey Barnes is right to be frustrated over his lack of starts.

Barnes came off the bench to steal the spotlight at Sheffield United, his 15-yard rocket earning City a 2-1 win.

"He's very good," said Maddison. “He hasn't played that much yet but that's because the competition we've got in this team is really high.

“Harvey's a top player and he's probably scratching his head thinking: 'How am I going to get in this team?' I suppose he put in a good performance on Saturday to tell the gaffer to put him in. He's a fantastic player."

Maddison added: “We're a team, it doesn't matter who gets the headlines. We're all in this together and Harvey's goal was fantastic. He deserves a lot of credit for that."
