COMEBACK FOR MADDISON

JAMES MADDISON will make his first start in three months when Leicester face Arsenal in the Carabao Cup tonight. The playmaker has not been included in the starting XI for the Foxes since June 23 due to a hip problem that required surgery. But Maddison appeared as a second-half substitute in each of Leicester’s opening two Premier League matches and the 23-year-old will be part of a much-changed team tonight. Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers said: ‘He needs the minutes. He’s been out for a long time and he’s only been training two weeks. You can see from the period he was on (in Sunday’s 4-2 win against Burnley) that he needs to get up to speed.’
