Leicester City midfielder James Maddison has insisted that he feels fit and ready to go ahead of England's final World Cup group game against Wales.
England midfielder Maddison says his ‘World Cup starts now’ after recovering from ‘frustrating’ injury
But the midfielder has missed England’s first two group games after suffering a knee injury in Leicester’s final game before the World Cup. “I was in good form, getting the call-up, which is what I was after, getting to Qatar and then having that little problem that was keeping me inside for a little bit longer than what I would have hoped.
“Obviously not being able to affect it on the pitch and haven’t been on the bench because of the little knee problem I’ve had.“Back in training, this will be the first game that I’ve been involved in, so it’s about showing that I’m here now and I’m here to do a job. The midfielder spoke glowingly about the way team-mates and the Football Association helped him celebrate and praised the spirit Southgate has helped to cultivate.
“And to be fair, even going bigger than that with all the staff and the togetherness – the perfect example was we played a game wolf and it just brings everyone together.
