James Maddison sends biggest hint yet that he could play for Tottenham against Leeds

James Maddison has dropped a strong hint on social media regarding his potential involvement in Tottenham’s upcoming match against Leeds United.

The attacking midfielder has missed the entire season so far but has been named in Roberto De Zerbi’s matchday squads for recent games against Brighton, Wolves, and Aston Villa.

Reports suggest Maddison is now very close to making his first appearance of the season, with the only real question being whether that will happen on Monday.

The 29-year-old Spurs standout drew attention in training footage this week, and his latest social media activity has only fueled speculation ahead of the Leeds clash.

James Maddison hints that time is running down toward his Tottenham return
With Xavi Simons sidelined by injury, many pundits have argued that Spurs need Maddison’s creativity as they battle to avoid relegation.

If the former Leicester man’s latest post is anything to go by, it seems De Zerbi is about to receive a major boost with the return of Tottenham’s chief playmaker.

Maddison took to Instagram to share a training photo alongside three hourglass emojis—widely interpreted as a sign that he is edging very close to a return to action.

De Zerbi urged to take a risk on Maddison against Leeds
Tottenham aren’t safe yet, with West Ham still pressing hard behind them as the season enters its final three matches.

That’s why Danny Murphy has urged De Zerbi to take a chance and start Maddison against Leeds, even if the England international isn’t fully fit.

That said, after Conor Gallagher’s strong performance as a number eight or ten against Aston Villa, the Spurs boss may resist the temptation to risk the 29-year-old.
