LONDON : Leicester City's in-form forward James Maddison should start in England's opening World Cup match against Iran, according to former manager Glenn Hoddle.
"Maddison has been one of the players of the season so far with his assists, goals and the way he plays and creates," Hoddle said."We've got a lot of players of a similar ilk really, and that's why I thought Gareth may possibly leave him out, but I'm glad to see him in the squad. "I've always been a massive fan of Phil Foden, him and Maddison would be something special just behind Harry Kane," Hoddle, a World Cup ambassador for bookmakers Betfair, said.
"That's the only spot in the squad that I would have looked at and taken James Ward-Prowse who is fit at the moment," Hoddle said."I thought he would have gone instead of Phillips, purely because of Phillips' lack of fitness."
