JAMES MADDISON is a major injury doubt for England’s World Cup opener against Iran.

The midfielder was unable to take part in training once again today.

It means Maddison is still yet to train with the Three Lions squad since flying out to Qatar.

The Leicester star is struggling with a knee issue which forced him off during a match against West Ham last week.

But England are unable to call up a different player as teams cannot replace players less than 24 hours before kick-off.
