Leicester handed major fitness boost ahead of clash with Manchester City as James Maddison is ready to return after a month out with a hip problem

James Maddison will be fit to return for Leicester's Premier League clash with leaders Manchester City on Saturday.

The 24-year-old has been sidelined with a hip injury suffered against Aston Villa on February 24 and missed England's three World Cup qualifiers in March.

But the attacking midfielder returned to full training during the international window and manager Brendan Rodgers says he 'looks great' ahead of the visit of Pep Guardiola's side.
