NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
England have revealed their squad numbers for the World Cup in Qatar and seemingly ended any lingering doubts over James Maddison’s fitness by giving him the number 25 shirt.
The Leicester midfielder suffered an injury scare on Saturday after he was forced off with a knee issue during the 2-0 win over West Ham.
Days earlier Maddison had earned a surprise recall to the Three Lions fold, three years on from his only cap against Montenegro.
And while he marked his selection with a goal at the London Stadium, Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers had to substitute the playmaker in the first half.
