JAMES MADDISON NEWS

Starts in cup win Maddison started and played 63 minutes in last weekend's FA Cup fourth round victory against Walsall.

Impact Maddison made his first start for Leicester since suffering a knee injury just before the Premier League restart in late December. He should remain in the XI for Saturday's clash against Aston Villa on the right wing.

Returns in bench capacity Maddison is fit and in the match day squad to face Brighton on Saturday.

Impact Maddison returns after dealing with a knee injury that has kept him out since the return from the World Cup. The midfielder has been one of Leicester's main threats scoring seven goals and providing four assists in 13 appearances, all starts.

Impact While possibly available, it doesn't seem like Maddison will be an option to start Saturday given a lack of training. Leicester are desperate in terms of playmaking bodies on the pitch, but Maddison shouldn't be pushed. Fortunately, it seems like Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is closer to starting, so that at least helps from last week's squad.

No timeline to return Maddison (knee) still has no firm recovery timeline according to manager Brendan Rodgers who told reporters Tuesday, "There's no timeline on [Maddison]. It's day-to-day. He's worki...

Impact Maddison should probably be considered in doubt to face Nottingham Forest on Saturday given his continued knee concerns. Once fit, Maddison should be a near-lock for the starting XI where he figures to offer top-end fantasy value as the team's primary corner taker. In the meantime, Ayoze Perez and Youri Tielemans figure to continue splitting the corners.

Nearing return to action Maddison (knee) won't be ready to play against Gillingham on Saturday but is making strides in his recovery after manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters, "It slow at the moment. We...

Impact Rodgers certainly left the door open for the possibility that Maddison would be ready to face Nottingham Forest on Jan. 14. The midfielder's last appearance for the club came just before the World Cup when he was forced off after 25 minutes against West Ham United on Nov. 12. As a result, Maddison failed to get onto the pitch for England and has missed the last three Premier League contests as well. Once cleared to play, Maddison should be a regular fixture in the starting XI where he'll offer top-end fantasy value given his corner-taking duties and offensive upside.

Positive news from specialist Maddison (knee) won't be out long-term after seeing a specialist for a new knee injury, manager Brendan Rodgers told reporters. "He has had good news from the scan, which is positi...

Impact Maddison will need to clear club fitness tests but this is in most ways the best case scenario after the midfielder felt new pain in his knee. Maddison still has plenty of hurdle to overcome before getting back on the pitch after almost three months sidelined, likely giving Ayoze Perez at least two more starts against Fulham and Nottingham Forest.

Picks up new knee injury Maddison has picked up a new issue in his knee, The Guardian reports.

Impact Maddison was sent to see a specialist after aggravating his knee injury in training. It appears the news for the specialist was the worst case scenario, with a new knee injury in a different part of his knee confirmed. The Guardian reports that Maddison is ruled out for an indefinite amount of time with this new knee injury. Maddison scored seven goals and assisted four times during 13 appearances before picking up this injury, putting him on pace for a career year.

Impact The fact that Maddison is meeting with a specialist doesn't bode well for him being sidelined short term, though the team hasn't provided a specific recovery timeline. With Dennis Praet (ribs) also sidelined, the Foxes may have to turn to Ayoze Perez for a spot in the starting XI.

Out against Newcastle Maddison is not in the match day squad to face Newcastle on Monday.

Late test for Boxing Day Maddison (knee) is considered a late-fitness test for Monday's match against Newcastle, according to manager Brendan Rodgers. "We're going to give it every chance to see where [Mad...

Impact This is a tough update on Maddison, who was thought to be healthy after being in England's squad throughout the World Cup. It's unclear if he was not fit that entire time or something else came up in the last week, but he's now a doubt for Monday's match. Leicester City played without him and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in their recent Cup win and could go with a similar XI on Boxing Day.

In squad against Wales Maddison (knee) was named to the match-day squad versus Wales on Tuesday.

Impact Maddison was not in the squad for the previous two contests so this certainly is a step in the right direction. While the midfielder could see some minutes off the bench, he may be hard-pressed to break into the starting XI at this point unless somebody else picks up a knock.

Active in training Maddison (knee) participated in Monday's training session ahead of Tuesday's match against Wales.

Impact Maddison has missed the first two group stage matches due to a knee injury but his fitness no longer requires much mention. His status will be one to track as Tuesday's match approaches, though at best Maddison is a backup attacking option in the current setup.

Out Friday Maddison (knee) is out for Friday's clash with the United States.

Impact Maddison was not named on the bench for Friday's match against the United States. This isn't a surprise since he has yet to return to training. Phil Foden will be the main attacking depth option off the bench alongside Jack Grealish and Marcus Rashford. Maddison's last chance to return in the group stage is a Tuesday clash with Wales.

Impact Maddison has still yet to return to training with the team as he struggles with a knee issue. The midfielder will hope to return before a Friday clash with the United States, though with matches so close together it's a tough recovery for Maddison.

Out against Iran Maddison (knee) will miss Monday's opening match against Iran, according to manager Gareth Southgate.

Impact Maddison hasn't been able to overcome a knee issue that's hampered him since the Nov. 12 league match against West Ham. As he hasn't been replaced in the national side, Maddison figures to stick around for the tournament. His next chance to play will then be Friday against the United States.

Trains separately Friday Maddison (knee) trained separately from his teammates during Friday's session, according to Simon Peach of The Independent.

Impact Maddison told reporters earlier in the week that his injury is only a minor one but he still has to pass his fitness tests in order to be fit. Monday's opening match against Iran is fast approaching and at the least Maddison should be fit by the end of the group stage. Especially without clearance to play, Maddison is unlikely to start initially in a deep team.
