LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) - Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers said his playmaker James Maddison should be called up to Gareth Southgate's England squad after an excellent all-round attacking display in their 2-0 Premier League win over Everton on Saturday.

The 25-year-old pulled the strings for the Foxes, creating goals for Youri Tielemans and Harvey Barnes, and was unlucky not to score in an impressive performance.
