Leicester City ace James Maddison hopes his casino controversy will not be held against him by England coach Gareth Southgate, says the Mirror.

Maddison was sent home ill from England's last camp but was pictured in a casino while Southgate's men played in the Czech Republic last month.

England manager Southgate gave Maddison a stern warning that he would have to watch how he behaves in the public eye in future but has yet to speak to him personally.

He is certain to address the issue with Maddison if he includes him for the qualifiers with Montenegro and Kosovo as England look to book their place at Euro 2020.

Midfield is the big area of concern for Southgate with Ross Barkley the two-goal hero in Bulgaria in danger of missing out having missed recent Chelsea games through injury but is now fit.
