James Maddison Injury: Could play again soon

Maddison (knee) is feeling a lot better and could potentially see some minutes against Arsenal in a pre-season friendly on Thursday, coach Thomas Frank said in a press conference. "Madders is looking better and better, could also be too early for Arsenal, again, we'll see."

Maddison is very close to returning to the pitch as he is in the final stages of rehabilitation from his season-ending knee injury. The playmaker is feeling much better, and after being part of the squad that traveled to the Asia Tour, he could see some minutes Thursday. If all goes well, that puts him on track to be available for the Aug. 16 opener against Burnley.
