World Cup 2022 LIVE: James Maddison misses England training, Wales’ Roberts ‘feared for his life’ with pneumonia

ENGLAND have been dealt a blow as James Maddison has missed training.

England are scheduled to play Iran on Monday and Maddison faces a race against time to be fit for the clash after missing England training on Thursday.

The midfielder picked up a slight injury in Leicester’s last match and will hope to get back to full fitness before England’s opener against Iran.

While the rest of Gareth Southgate’s squad trained, they were pictured struggling in the heat in Qatar – having to take on plenty of fluids as they adjust to their surroundings.

Elsewhere, Wales and Burnley defender Connor Roberts has opened up on a time where he feared for his life after contracting pneumonia last year.
