England No. 10 Maddison likely to miss Iran opener

England's number 10 James Maddison could miss Qatar's World Cup opener against Iran with a hamstring injury.


England No. 10 Maddison likely to miss Iran opener

The 25-year-old Maddison played for Leicester City and was forced to replace him due to a knee problem in the last round of the Premier League match between Leicester City and West Ham United. Earlier this week, Maddison said at a news conference that his injury was not serious, just minor issues.


Although Maddison was finally selected for England's 26-man squad, it is reported that he has not participated in training with England players recently due to injuries, so the outside world predicts that he will most likely not be able to participate in England's first game.


Maddison only represented England in the U-21 European Championships in 2019. After 3 years, he finally had the opportunity to represent England in the World Cup again. It must be a very happy thing for Maddison. I hope that the young player's injury is not serious, and he can return to training and participate in the World Cup as soon as possible.
