JAMES MADDISON has England fans in hysterics after “doing an Ashley Cole” in the squad photo for the World Cup in Qatar.
The Leicester City star has been pictured along with the rest of the Three Lions squad but was awkwardly leaning into the picture from the side.
Fans have reacted to the picture on social media as they have spotted the similar pose to that of Ashley Cole.
The former Chelsea and Arsenal defender had a similar stance in his squad photo when he was at Roma in 2014.
One said: “James Maddison giving Ashley Cole vibes.”
Another tweeted: “James Maddison doing his best Ashley Cole impression?”
A third added: “James Maddison with a wonderful homage to Ashley Cole.”
A fourth commented: “Shades of Ashley Cole’s Roma team pic with James Maddison there.”
A fifth joked: “Funniest team photo I’ve ever seen, Maddison doing his best Ashley Cole impression.”
The midfielder had an injury scare in his final Premier League game before the break for the World Cup.

Having scored the opener with a thumping finish, Maddison was forced off early against West Ham at the London Stadium.
However he eased fans concerns after the game as he revealed the knock was not a serious one.
He said: “Injury isn’t too bad! A small problem that was causing a bit of soreness.”
