Ahead of their FA Cup fourth-round clash with Manchester City on Friday, Tottenham Hotspur has been given a boost with the news that playmaker James Maddison has returned to training. Maddison’s impressive performance at the start of the season was crucial to Spurs’ early success in the Premier League, with the team earning a record-breaking 26 points in their first 10 games under manager Ange Postecoglou.
However, Maddison suffered a severe ankle injury during a match against Chelsea in November, which kept him out of action until now. His absence has been keenly felt, with Spurs winning only four of their 10 Premier League matches without him.
While Maddison’s return to training is a positive development, other key players such as Manor Solomon and Dane Scarlett remain unavailable due to injury, leaving the team with several absences for their upcoming matches.
Despite this, there is a glimmer of hope with the potential return of Dejan Kulusevski and Ryan Sessegnon, and Postecoglou is optimistic about their involvement in the upcoming games. Additionally, the manager has addressed concerns about Micky van de Ven and hinted at a possible starting role for Radu Dragusin in the game against Manchester City. With the return of key players and potential new additions to the squad, Tottenham is aiming to bounce back and secure a win against their formidable opponents.
