Maddison

Why the conspiracy?

he picked up a knee injury at everton

he was unable to train properly in the week before West Ham.

 

he then aggravated the injury at West Ham 

 

england are likely to have decided that they won’t need his input in the group games now.  Pointless pushing him at this stage and having him break down and require another week of ‘rest’.  Allow him to recover properly and to be available to contribute to the knock out stages if required.  We all know he isn’t a starter (as does he).  If there was no World Cup then we would probably have missed him last weekend and be looking to get him available for this Saturday, perhaps with an injection. We need him available more than England do. 
 

I can’t see where the issue is on this - I’m happy that they’re being sensible with him 

It's the fact he can't train at all that irks me. As in not even a run about on grass alone.

That's it, he won't play now. He would never have got a minute in the knockout rounds due to Southgate picking his trusted players - his only chance to stake a claim was going to be in the groups. No chance of him featuring against USA without having trained, and you'd imagine the same would go for the Wales game. It seems like Rodgers/Madders downplayed the severity of the injury after the West Ham game to keep him in the squad on the off chance he'd be okay.

Pretty sure the England team staff would have assessed him and if deemed a doubt for most of the tournament, removed him. So the England medical staff must think he can play some part (maybe in the knockout rounds).

If we win tomorrow and madders trains in the next couple days i can see him playing the last group game

We don’t know that he isn’t doing any work alone on the grass

Absolute dream for Southgate this

[Ric Flair]

It is very odd that the scan came back all clear and yet 10 days later he still isn't properly training.

Can't wait for the Newcastle game when we play:

 

Ward

 

Thomas

Evans

Soyuncu

Amartey

 

Ndidi

KDH

Soumare

 

Barnes

Daka

Perez

Brendan must have assessed the scan ……..

[Oldblueyes]

Dr Brendan has a poor track record in injury diagnosis. That has been proven over the past few years.

If he hasn’t trained by the end of the group stage he might as well come back to Leicester so our medical staff can deal with whatever the issue is.

We might be better off leaving him with the england medical staff …….

I’m intrigued that no one is really  asking about Maddison. The press all clamoured for his inclusion, but nothing now he’s seemingly seriously injured. I initially suspected covid, but more think he’s just not fancied by the England management team

It’s no huge surprise after the last team display.

He was the golden boy for a brief moment when the majority of people thought we were crying out for creativity. The 6 goals has kinda dulled the noise.

For now!!

Seriously good point. Any news on him today?

[shailen]

Just because he hasn't trained with the group, doesn't mean he hasn't trained at all. He's being managed quite clearly and it has been the same at Leicester when he's then played the following weekend. 

[RichardIII]

Southgate has said this afternoon that Maddison will train with the main group as after tomorrow's game is done. May get to see him against Wales depending how the result goes tomorrow.

What are they doing wrong ??  reading some posts on here you’d think he’s fit and being forced to train away from the squad 

[oxtonfox]

What I couldn’t understand is why Rodgers didn’t say that he had issues, after England selection in the week before the West Ham game. In fact he said he trained well, yet he hadn’t. Then he played him, which has probably ruined his chances of playing in this World Cup. 

[Stinkenzo]

Can only imagine the moaning in here when a half fit Maddison comes off the bench, pulls up injured and misses the next 4 months

Henry Winter is loving this

Why would he love this? He is a closet Leicester fan and was a massive advocator for Maddison to get picked.

Pretty hilarious that we might treat wales as a friendly

Southgate will absolutely blow his top if he plays well and scores. He’ll be fuming..

[jim5000]

He’s not made the bench v USA.

 

Real shame that he finally got the call but has seemingly done his knee. It’s going to be neigh on impossible for him to break into the team during the knockout rounds (if we get there). Southgate will stick with the players that are winning.

[Sharpe's Fox]

He was never going to get near the starting eleven with Waistcoat Pulis as manager. Hope that helps.
