'The unfortunate thing for him is there are so many talented players': Brendan Rodgers backs Leicester star James Maddison to keep pushing hard for an England recall, as he insists 'he can do no more'

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has backed James Maddison to keep proving his England class as he chases a Three Lions recall.

The 25-year-old starred and scored in Thursday's 2-1 Europa Conference League quarter-final win away against PSV Eindhoven to earn the Foxes a last four clash with Roma.

His strike in Eindhoven was his 14th goal of the season, his best return for Leicester, and Harry Kane and Tammy Abraham are the only Englishmen to score more than the attacker in all competitions this term.
