Leicester midfielder James Maddison says he has endured the “hardest” time of his career but believes he is now edging back to his best after returning to scoring form against Brentford on Sunday.
The 24-year-old had not netted in eight months before hitting the winner in west London, during which time he has been dropped from the side and struggled with a niggling hip problem.
The former Norwich player believes those issues are behind him now and he can now look forward to the rest of the season with optimism.
Maddison finished off a rapid counter-attack with 14 minutes remaining to seal a fine week for Leicester which also includes last weekend’s win over Manchester United and the Europa League victory away at Spartak Moscow.
It is also a timely return to form for Maddison, who was dropped after last month’s defeat at Brighton. He regained his place in the starting XI for the win over Man Utd and says a chat with boss Rodgers helped get him back to his best.
