FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Roberto de zerbi in strongest hint yet at james maddison return | History Defined

  • Roberto De Zerbi has strongly indicated that James Maddison may be fit to play for Tottenham in their crucial match against Aston Villa.
  • Maddison has been an unused substitute in Tottenham's last two fixtures, following a lengthy absence due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
  • De Zerbi highlighted Maddison's significant influence in the dressing room, praising his experience, personality, and calming presence.
  • The upcoming game marks nine months since Maddison sustained his ACL injury during pre-season, following a previous MCL injury last year.
  • With Tottenham currently in the relegation zone, De Zerbi believes Maddison, if he features, could be a vital player, likely coming off the bench.
