Maddison is in the England squad for the World Cup.
Manchester City full-back Kyle Walker is one of the players the manager has selected.
AC Milan centre-back Fikayo Tomori and Ivan Toney are missing.
England will play Iran in their World Cup opener.
Group B includes Wales and the US.
KalvinPhillips, who only recently returned from a shoulder injury, is in, as is centre-back Harry Maguire, who has struggled to get a game for Manchester United.
Pickford, Pope, and Ramsdale are goalkeepers.
Kyle Walker, John Stones, Eric Dier, and Trent Alexander-Arnold are defenders.
Quarterbacks: Jude Bellingham, Mason Mount, KalvinPhillips, and DeclanRice.
James Maddison, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish and Harry Kane are some of the forwards.
The inclusion of Maddison is a reward for his good form.
He has six goals and four assists in 12 games for the Foxes, who have rebounded nicely from their poor start.
Three years ago to the day, he made his England debut in a Euro 2020 qualification match against Montenegro.
He is playing well.
He is a good person. He is a good player according to us. He has been given the right. He can give something different to the other attackers.
He is a bit different to the others in that he is playing as well as any of the attacking players.
Walker had groin surgery and didn't play in more than a month, but that didn't stop him from proving his fitness.
The England boss has faith in the player despite his injuries. After having surgery on his shoulder,Phillips came on as a second-half substitute in Manchester City's 2-0 win againstChelsea in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
Since the Euro 2020 final loss to Italy, Marcus Rashford has not played for England, but he still has seven goals this season.
Wilson and Kane are England's main strikers for the World Cup.
Tammy Abraham is not the only one who has been ignored.
We wanted to make sure we had the right mix of players.
The squad is more important than ever. There are different options for different moments of the tournament.
Having 26 players means you can take a couple of risks, because we had to cover a couple of players who weren't match fit.
The balance is there. We think we have all the answers.
