Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says James Maddison needs to respond positively to his England snub.

Maddison has been named in a couple of England squads under Gareth Southgate but is yet to make his debut, remaining an unused substitute in the most recent qualifiers against Bulgaria and Kosovo.

Rodgers wasn't surprised that his young starlet didn't make his Three Lions debut this month and believes consistency will eventually be rewarded with that first cap.

"Young players need to understand they don't have an entitlement, just because they play well, get in the squad, there has to be a process. Gareth will obviously pick the players who he thinks should play," the Foxes boss said.

"He has to be consistent, a really humble boy, a lovely swagger, a lovely arrogance, but he is a good kid who will get better. He loves his football, hopefully he can sustain that place in the squad and be there for when they need him."
