Former Leicester manager Martin O’Neill says James Maddison has the talent to make England’s World Cup squad, but ultimately it comes down to Gareth Southgate’s personal choice.

O’Neill agrees, and he told 5 Live Breakfast: “It would have been a really long fortnight with the international break, with lots to ponder and consider. The result was needed and it was a terrific effort.
