Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers expecting the club to resist offers for James Maddison next month as they look to continue their pre-World Cup resurgence up the table

Brendan Rodgers expects Leicester to resist offers for James Maddison next month as Boxing Day opponents Newcastle continue to monitor the Foxes playmaker.

Maddison's outstanding form before the World Cup break earned him a spot in the England squad for the tournament and though he did not play in Qatar, the 26-year-old remains a hot property - and has barely 18 months remaining on his contract.

Maddison helped Leicester climb the table after a dreadful start to the campaign and they will need him to maintain that form if they are to keep progressing.
