Newspapers published photos on Monday of Maddison ‘partying’ in Dubai during the Premier League’s mid-season break. Ahead of Leicester’s return to action against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday.

The 23-year-old was criticized for going to a casino on the night England lost a Euro 2020 qualifier to the Czech Republic last October after withdrawing from the squad due to illness.

Rodgers told reporters. “People want to fit a narrative around him so I don’t worry so much about that side. I know the reality of what he is and what he gives. It is unfortunate. We are supposedly in a world where everyone ‘cares’. “

“Rubbish - the first thing they do is try to stitch you up. This is a single 23-year-old boy, he has been given a week free. We try to educate them in many ways but this is something I’m not too bothered about.”

Maddison has scored nine goals in all competitions this season for Leicester, who sit third in the Premier League. Euro 2020 fans can book England Euro Cup Tickets on our website on exclusively discounted prices.

He has been tipped to earn a spot in England’s Euro 2020 squad after making his senior debut in a 7-0 win over Montenegro last year.

“He is a talent, what we try to educate off the pitch is to focus every day on training, and how important training is. It’s not just about the talent, you have to work at your talent,” Rodgers added.
