Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is delighted seeing James Maddison prove himself with England.

Rodgers says it shows Leicester can produce England players.

Speaking ahead of their trip to Crystal Palace, Rodgers said: “He's a gifted player whatever club he's at. He's shown here that, by playing at Leicester in the Premier League and being as effective as he can, it gives him the opportunity to make the squads.

“That's where he's at. Look, his contract, he's got a year to go. You see him happy here. He's playing and that's allowed him to achieve his dream, which was to play for his country.

"It gives him confidence. Gareth (Southgate) and his staff have shown the confidence to put him into a qualification game, which is great. He's earned the right for it."
