James Maddison subbed off with injury just days after being named in England World Cup squad
James Maddison has handed England an immediate injury concern after going off with an apparent hamstring issue just two days after being named in the World Cup 2022 squad.
The Leicester City man was one of the most-debated potential inclusions due to some exceptional form at club level and the fact he has rarely been selected by Gareth Southgate previously.
Ultimately his 2022/23 form has proven too impressive to ignore and the 25-year-old was named in the Three Lions’ final 26 – before departing early on the final Premier League weekend.
Maddison scored early on in the game to put the Foxes ahead at West Ham United, but was replaced on 25 minutes after a knock.
The midfielder headed straight down the tunnel to receive treatment.
