James Maddison: Leicester midfielder sees knee specialist

Leicester's James Maddison has seen a specialist about his knee injury and will not play against Liverpool at Anfield on Friday.

The midfielder, 26, picked up a knock against West Ham in November before going to the World Cup with England, but did not play in Qatar.

"[Maddison] won't be available for the game," Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers said.

"He was with Mark [Waller], our doctor, getting some special advice in London today so I'll wait to hear from them later on.

"He hasn't trained with the squad. He was clearly getting treatment out [in Qatar] and he and the medical team deemed him OK to train.
