Brendan Rodgers claims James Maddison must make ‘better choices’ to fulfil his potential before admitting recent Covid breach was 'lowest' he's felt as Leicester manager

Brendan Rodgers warned James Maddison that he must make ‘better choices’ to fulfil his potential and admitted the recent Covid breach had been his most painful moment as Leicester manager.

The Foxes will attempt on Sunday to reach their first FA Cup Final since 1969 with Rodgers confident the air has cleared after Maddison, Ayoze Perez and Hamza Choudhury were three of the players to break lockdown rules by attending a gathering two weeks ago.

The trio were excluded from last weekend’s 3-2 defeat at West Ham as punishment but will be available for the Wembley meeting with Southampton.
