James Maddison hoping for new dawn after admitting injury hell which saw him miss Leicester's Champions League push was 'one of the worst times of my career'

James Maddison can finally see the light after revealing that his absence through injury at the end of last season was the darkest moment of his career.

Without Maddison for most of the post-lockdown period, due to a hip problem that required surgery, Leicester somehow allowed themselves to be overhauled by Chelsea and Manchester United for a place in the top four — meaning they missed out on Champions League football this season.

The midfielder is yet to start a Premier League game this campaign and suffered a calf injury while fighting to regain fitness.
