Is anyone really surprised, Isn't this James Maddison's M.O...

Play really well for a few weeks, then get injured for 2 months... Repeat.

How? Im looking and he averaged like 35 starts in the last 6 years around 40 games played per season. Transfermarkt says he was only injured for more than a month twice. It looks like he mostly missed England games than Leicester games.

Unfortunately yes, it is. Although I think most people were hopeful that our lack of fixture congestion this year would allow us an extended run with him.

I guess it's now about showing the other half of the squad and seeing if Ange can get a tune out of the traditional underperformers on the bench.

Gio, Dier, Davies, etc are all going to have to step up massively, and we'll see if Angeball works so well with a depleted squad.

On the other hand, this is an opportunity for the younglings to break into the team. Veliz will no doubt get minutes, and hopefully Ashley Phillips can get some time in the back line.
