Brendan Rodgers confirms James Maddison is a doubt for Leicester's clash with table-toppers Arsenal after his persistent knee injury flared up in Manchester United defeat

Leicester will check on the fitness of James Maddison ahead of Saturday's clash with Premier League leaders Arsenal at the King Power Stadium.

The England midfielder has been troubled by a persistent knee problem since returning from the World Cup and it flared up while playing the full 90 minutes of last week's loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Manager Brendan Rodgers said at a press conference: 'We're obviously starting to get a lot of players back but we have to see how James Maddison is.

'He's still nursing a knee issue, so we'll just have to assess that tomorrow after training.
