James Maddison reveals he 'studied Bruno Fernandes' game' when Man United midfielder was 'putting up ridiculous numbers' before regaining scintillating form that earned him England call-up for World Cup

Leicester star James Maddison revealed he studied videos of Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes in an attempt to earn a place in the England set-up.

Maddison - who missed England's open training session in Doha this morning - is preparing for his first major tournament with the national side, having done enough to earn a call-up for Qatar.

There was uncertainty over whether he'd make Gareth Southgate's squad but after a scintillating few months - inspired by United's Fernandes - he made the list and has revealed the factors that helped him achieve it.
