Former England World Cup player Trevor Sinclair isn't surprised seeing Leicester City midfielder James Maddison miss squad selection this week.

After scoring a career high 18 goals and providing a further 12 assists this season, it led to questions being asked over why he didn't get a call-up alongside City teammate James Justin.

“I think there were other reasons he wasn't selected for England. In possession and going forward, you've just mentioned his stats there - outstanding," Sinclair told TalkSPORT.

“I think he struggles with his physicality a little bit out of possession. So he puts everything into going forward and in possession work and then when the ball is turned over in transition, he can't help the team.

“Now, if you've got him, and then you've got players who are not committed to the cause potentially behind that, who want to leave the club, not naming any names, all of a sudden the centre of your team, when you lose the ball, you're wide open."
