adminGOOD NEWS”- Forgotten Tottenham star now given a timeframe for injury come back as first-team return date revealed
Tottenham Hotspur are currently fighting a desperate and unexpected battle to preserve their Premier League status.
Sitting 18th in the table, two points adrift of safety, Spurs find themselves in unfamiliar territory and are in need of any advantage they can get. The club may have already played their final card by appointing Roberto De Zerbi, but the Italian began his tenure with a 1–0 loss to Sunderland.
In an effort to turn things around, he has even taken a different approach—treating his players and staff to an elaborate team-bonding dinner.
Still, Tottenham will require more than that to avoid dropping into the Championship.
Amid the ongoing turmoil, however, Spurs fans have finally been given a reason for optimism: forgotten playmaker James Maddison has been spotted in training. The 29-year-old is believed to be around two weeks away from a return to first-team action, meaning he could still feature before the season ends. Maddison is recovering from an ACL injury that has sidelined him for nearly nine months.
With the former Leicester City star stepping up his recovery, Tottenham are hopeful he might be available for their Premier League trip to Aston Villa on May 2. Before his injury, Maddison was considered the team’s creative heartbeat, so his potential return would be a major boost to their survival hopes.
Maddison may be better off waiting until summer
As much as Spurs could use his creativity, the England international might be wiser to take the summer to fully heal rather than rushing back. Even if he passes a fitness test, sitting out the remainder of the season could be in his best interest—especially given how the summer transfer window may unfold.
Maddison’s injury history could force Tottenham to consider selling him, particularly if they are relegated. He hasn’t played a competitive match since August 3, 2025. If he avoids a setback this summer, he could still attract plenty of interest despite his injury struggles.
