James Maddison to miss Leicester's Carabao Cup tie against MK Dons after being given a week off following England's World Cup exit... despite not featuring for the Three Lions in Qatar

James Maddison is not expected to feature when Leicester return to action following the World Cup break with a Carabao Cup trip to Sky Bet League One strugglers MK Dons on Tuesday.

The midfielder was given last week off after England's campaign at Qatar 2022 ended at the quarter-final stage.

The 26-year-old, who did not play in the tournament, is thought more likely to return for the Foxes' Premier League clash with Newcastle on Boxing Day.
