James Maddison feels the same way as us all: Leicester news

At this time of panic, uncertainty and worry, Leicester City midfielder James Maddison feels the same way as all of us.

The Premier League recently made an announcement welcomed by football fans: their aim is to complete the 2019/20 season – however long it takes. Playing behind closed doors may be the sensible, protective, most safe way of finishing off. Obviously us supporters would all like to be at the games, but watching on television is the next best choice.

Meanwhile, we as a population must all compartmentalize: forgetting sports and some other outdoor pursuits for the good of one another’s health. People, players and fans are coming up with some ingenious pastimes at present, mainly on social media. Musicians, for example, are streaming home concerts. Wonderful.

While many professional footballers have taken part in the new toilet roll challenge – a commodity that has strangely become sold out and coveted during the coronavirus pandemic, for no apparent reason – including Foxes James Maddison, Ben Chilwell and Hamza Choudhury.

You can see some of the hilarious and skilled results below.

It’s now vital to keep each other’s spirits up in this current situation; yes, it sounds cliché, but laughter as well as positive thinking is absolutely the correct remedy. Alongside many players’ advice – received from governments – of staying indoors as much as possible and, of course, washing our hands with frequent regularity.

Maddison summed it up for Foxes of Leicester at the moment, simply saying in a Twitter post: “I miss football”.
