Why Leicester MUST keep James Maddison fit: The England star is feared by opponents and key to their Premier League survival but knee issue that wrecked his World Cup mean he is being handled with care

The main job for Leicester City's backroom team over the remaining three months of the season is as simple as it is important. Keep James Maddison fit.

Despite all the excitement about the performance of Brazilian winger Tete, who scored on his debut in last weekend's 4-2 victory at Aston Villa, the outcome of Leicester's season surely rests on the form of their No 10, who has eight goals and four assists in 15 league appearances.

At the Foxes' stunning £90million training base in the Leicestershire countryside, they know this only too well.
