Madison suffers injury after World Cup squad
2022-11-13 13:30The bad news came after the England national team reluctantly excluded 22-year-old defender Reece James from the Qatar World Cup squad of 26. 25-year-old midfielder James Maddison, who was included in the World Cup squad two days ago, was injured in the 16th round of the Premier League on behalf of Leicester City against West Ham yesterday, which is likely to affect his state of representing England in the World Cup.
This is the first time Madison has been selected for the England World Cup squad in his career. He has only represented the national team in a European qualifier as a substitute in 2019. However, Maddison has finally received a call-up to the World Cup due to his highly effective performances at Leicester City this season with six goals and four assists, which has attracted the attention of England manager Gareth Southgate.
However, the England international has suffered injury problems in the final round of the Premier League before the World Cup kicks off. At that time, Maddison helped the visiting team Leicester City score a goal and open the scoring within 8 minutes of the opening. Then in the 22nd minute, Madison fell to the ground with a foot injury while running, holding the back of his right leg and waiting for the medical staff to come on the court for treatment.
Madison was forced to leave the game early with a right hamstring injury. In the final game, the visiting team Leicester City defeated West Ham United 2-0 to win.
It is worth mentioning that Maddison is a very good player in scoring, creating offensive skills and assisting this season. England's loss of this core offensive player in the World Cup is undoubtedly a major blow.
However, Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers revealed after the game that Maddison's injury eased concerns. He said he had checked with the doctor and his injuries were not serious. He also confirmed that he chose to let the core player off the court early as a precaution and to prevent injuries. It is hoped that Madison can represent England in the World Cup as scheduled. If there is no accident, he will serve as England's starting lineup against Iran in the World Cup opener 7 days later.
