Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is happy seeing James Maddison earn an England call.

Gareth Southgate called up the 22-year-old midfielder to his 25-man squad for the upcoming European Qualifiers against Bulgaria and Kosovo.

"James is a very, very talented player," Rodgers said. "He has a wonderful personality. He plays with a nice arrogance on the field but outside of the field he is a very humble boy.

"He understands what it's like to do the dirty work, he hasn't played in the Premier League all his life. I've been so impressed by him since I have come in."
