James Maddison was disappointed not to be called up to the England squad by Gareth Southgate this week, saying international football is a childhood dream he has only had a taste of.
The 23-year-old helped Leicester continue their positive start to the season with a 4-0 Europa League win over Braga on Thursday.
Maddison registered his first assist since December 2019 – a run stretching 31 matches – as Kelechi Iheanacho opened the scoring, before capping the win with a late goal of his own.
