Peter Crouch hails James Maddison as 'a big character with a lot of ability' after a frustrating display in front of England boss Gareth Southgate... as Robbie Savage insists he was involved in 'everything Leicester did good' against Crystal Palace

Leicester midfielder James Maddison missed his chance to impress England boss Gareth Southgate, after failing to inspire a beleaguered Foxes side on Saturday.

But he will be encouraged by the comments of BT Sport pundits Peter Crouch and Robbie Savage, who insisted that he was at the heart of everything his side did well.

The midfielder had two shots on goal in a game that struggled to ever really get going, and though he was booked deep into stoppage time for simulation, pundits have hailed his influence on the game.
