The England international has been regularly linked with a move to Manchester United but any deal appears unlikely to happen this summer due to the player’s stance and the financial impact from the coronavirus pandemic.


Speaking to BT Sport, Maddison assured that he is fully committed to the Foxes and is looking forward to playing Champions League football with the Foxes for the first time in his career, he told: “Of course I am. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made, coming here. I love it. We’re just doing individual stuff at home. [Leicester manager] Brendan Rodgers sorted out his staff to send us stuff to do at home so we’re still keeping fit, we’re not sitting at home on the beers and the cakes, don’t worry about that! This situation is not ideal because we were doing so well and we were in the Champions League spaces. We just want to finish and try to secure one of those spaces because Champions League football is something I’ve always wanted to [play].”

Nick Powell is looking to get back to the Wigan starting line-up when the club take on Middles brough this weekend. The 24-year-old put in a 30 minute cameo in the game against Ipswich in the previous match. After having spent a long time on the sidelines due to calf and hamstring injuries, it is important for Powell to take his time before making his full comeback. However, he appears to be ready for a starting spot after reporting no complications following his cameo appearance against Ipswich. As Wigan try to extend their unbeaten sequence to 5 matches, the return of Powell will be a major addition.

Meanwhile, Wigan may also have Antonee Robinson back from a knee surgery for the first time since November 10 when he was involved in the 2-0 defeat against Middles brough.
