Leicester’s medical staff were forced to check James Maddison’s pulse after the attacking midfielder went down unchallenged in the Foxes’ Europa Conference League clash against Randers. The 25-year-old started the match on the bench but was introduced by Brendan Rodgers in the 64th minute when he replaced fellow midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.

Yet Maddison did not complete the game and only played the best part of 20 minutes before he was forced off, after going to ground in an incident off the ball.

Leicester boss Rodgers, who is already battling a number of high-profile injuries, watched on anxiously as his medical staff made their way onto the field.

Following some quick checks, including Maddison’s pulse, the playmaker was able to walk off with the assistance of the staff as he headed straight down the tunnel.

BT Sport commentator Ian Darke later confirmed that Maddison headed straight to the medical room for further checks.

The incident soured what was otherwise an excellent night’s work for the Foxes, who have had some low moments during this topsy-turvy season.
