He didn't look to have any problems sitting in the Stand afterwards.

 

Delighted for him and I just want the World to see the unique Talent that he has.

 

I'm sure he'll come back here a Hero. Which he already is to most of us on here.

You are damn right he is our hero! When we were bottom of the league just a few weeks ago he was the one banging in goals and providing assists not to mention coming out and giving interviews after disappointing losses.

I wouldn't exactly say he's alright. Brendan in his post match interview said it was the outside of his knee and he has been feeling it in training all week and he is struggling to sprint. Not ideal fitness going into the biggest tournament in football. I wish him the best and hope it is not just the excuse Southgate needs not to pick him to start.

He's fine I reckon. He was all smiles at the end, think it's a tiny tiny niggle that will be all good in a few days.

I think Brendan was spot on here didn’t mess about got him straight off with a minor injury and also taking Youri off early so both are fine for the World Cup . Good man management

They are in pain but they know a smashing English player

Honestly some people having the audacity to moan about madders coming off after having a blinder of a few months, helping us getting out off the foot of the table, scoring today and putting Leicester on the map again with the WC, should take a long look at themselves. I'm actually embarrassed for them. The guy loves Leicester but also it's his dream to play for his country. He and BR had the faith in the lads to see it through. Other England players were rested today (be it through the manager or the player) but Madders chose to play. If I was madders and I read this post I'd be disappointed to say the least.

I would bet every pound I have that if he wasn’t going to the WC he would have ran that off. Mind was clearly elsewhere which is understandable but arguably he should not have been starting today if he wasn’t in it 100%. 

Mate he scored after 8 minutes!

[Hales]

He has given his all for this team and dragged them through many results. Im so pleased and proud he is representing Leicester at the WC.  Im glad he was taken off and looked after today. Let him go and fulfill his dream with all of us behind him. Go on Madders! 💙🦊

And? Doesn’t change the fact that he got scared after one little knock and wanted to come off. 
 

Regardless of form or whoever they are you want players who are 100% committed. The circumstances for Maddison today with the goal were favourable but people are deluding themselves if you were thinking he was 100% committed to LCFC today. He clearly had other footballing priorities higher on his list and that bugs me a bit. 
 

I’m glad we won, i’m glad he scored and i’m glad he’s getting to play for England but its not an excuse to quit a game after 25 minutes. 

[marcymarc666]

I think it was the tiniest, teeny weeny minute twinge and he thought 'I've just scored, the world cup's coming up I'm off !'

I’m not trolling. People are just blinded by the fact we won and he’s in great form. Looking at it objectively he prioritised England over Leicester today. 

 

Weirdly I don’t even think its the lads fault. Clearly Southgates treatment of him has done a number on him.

I’m pleased we won and i’m pleased the lad is getting to live out his dream but its not going to stop me from pointing out what looks like suspect behaviour.

They said he had been carrying a niggle all week and he had done very light training. The easiest option would have been to not play at all but he still went out there and even bagged us a goal. He has prioritised his fitness, that's all, but he was still willing to risk that fitness. Don't agree with any point you are making.

He shouldn’t have been playing if he was carrying a niggle. As like you’ve said he’s prioritised his fitness which means he wouldn’t be 100% committed or even focused. 
 

I’ve always been against playing injured players because it almost always ends in a worse injury. Maddison was probably of a similar mindset hence the decision to come off after 25 minutes.

On that basis no club would ever be able to field a team. Professional footballers are almost never completely free of injuries.

If its enough to keep him out of full training for the week then its not worth the risk, we’ve been burned as a club by this so many times in the past.

[wardyfox86]

Will have plenty of time to rest that knock being woefully underutilised in Qatar.

[Spudulike]

If you are carrying an injury then would you really want to do a knee slide like that?

I think we need to cut Madders some slack. I remember Steve Claridge saying some players are always in the treatment room or crying off while other players play carrying injuries. This will possibly be the only wc Madders will have a chance to take part 

[tom27111]

He scored.

 

We won.

 

I'm more worried about him getting injured in Qatar.
