James Maddison had a word in the ear of Mohamed Salah before the Liverpool star had his first-half penalty saved but as the Leicester playmaker heads into the decisive phase of his career, he should listen carefully to the words of two Premier League greats.
Maddison turns 26 on November 23, five days after the opening game of the 2022 World Cup is due to take place. For a player of his talent, it seems remarkable that he has only one England cap – as a second-half substitute in a 7-0 win over Montenegro in November 2019 – to his name.
