Substitute option against Chelsea Maddison (undisclosed) is on the bench for Tuesday's visit to Chelsea.

Impact Maddison avoided a major issue after being questionable for this game, and he'll look to rack up a few minutes for the second time since his return from a knee problem that sidelined him for almost the entire season. The playmaker racked up five crosses while taking four corner kicks in his lone appearance of the campaign. His return could limit Conor Gallagher's and Mathys Tel's playing time at some point in the final fixtures.

Late call for Tuesday Maddison (undisclosed) is a late call for Tuesday's clash against Chelsea after missing training early in the week with a small problem before returning to full sessions, according...

Impact Maddison's return to training over the last two days is an encouraging sign after the early-week absence raised doubts over his availability. Manager Roberto De Zerbi's comments suggest the midfielder is closing in on full fitness but is unlikely to be risked for a full 90 minutes, making a bench role the most probable scenario should he be cleared to feature. A final decision will be made following a conversation between the player and coach ahead of Tuesday's fixture.

Tottenham player ratings vs Leeds: Mathys Tel, what were you thinking?! Spurs goal-scorer goes from hero to zero as draw dents Premier League survival hopes

Returns to action against Leeds Maddison had five crosses (one accurate) after coming off the bench in the 85th minute of Monday's 1-1 draw against Leeds United.

Impact Maddison was finally fit enough to play after staying on the bench for three consecutive games, having recently recovered from a significant knee issue. It was the playmaker's first appearance in the 2025/26 season, but his return is great news for a club that is still battling to avoid relegation. He'll now offer a viable alternative to Conor Gallagher and Mathys Tel while challenging Tel and Pedro Porro for set pieces.

Still working for play time Maddison has yet to see the field since returning to the bench due to his physical condition, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "I'm thinking about James Maddison because I'm...

Impact Maddison has been listed on the bench the past few matches but has yet to see the field since his injury, with the attacker trying to ramp up his fitness. That said, it appears the club thinks at a technical level he could be ready, although his physical and conditioning are still too low. That will put his chance for minutes against Leeds United on Monday in jeopardy, potentially his season too, as he has only three more games to return. It appears he still has an outside chance to return this season, although that will depend on how he can train the next few weeks.

Listed to bench Maddison (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Maddison was still working on his return and was not expected back this week, but is now listed on the bench, giving him a possibility of playing some minutes. That said, after the major injury and setbacks, he is unlikely to see major minutes, probably appearing at the end of the match for a late boost if anything. If the midfielder can get back to the level he was at before the injury, he could be the boost the club needs to end the season and avoid relegation.

Could face Leeds United Maddison (knee) could be an option for the final three games of the season, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "I don't know. I would like to play with him because he is a spec...

Impact Maddison has been seeing boosts to his health to end the season, as he looks to be eyeing a return come the final three games of the season. However, that will depend on his health, as it has appeared multiple times that he is close to a return before heading back to the sidelines. With Tottenham in the relegation zone, they may be calling in all reinforcements to end the season, giving the midfielder an even bigger gap to return despite returning from such a serious injury.

MAY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Back on sidelines Maddison (knee) is not ready for play but remains part of the traveling team as motivation, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi. "No, he's not available yet, especially this week...

Impact Maddison was on the bench last week but was in no position to play, as the attacker was only with the team as a face in lockeroom. He was also feeling some pain this week, which has likely slowed his return to play, still needing much more time to train with his teammates before a full return can be made. This will keep the midfielder's debut from happening for at least a few more weeks, hopefully still an option to make an appearance this season and help his team avoid relegation.

Back in squad after long absence Maddison (knee) has been named on the bench for Saturday's clash against Brighton, returning to the squad for the first time this season after recovering from an ACL injury, the cl...

Impact Maddison's return to the matchday squad marks a significant milestone after a season-long absence following ACL surgery. The attacking midfielder has not featured at all this campaign, making Saturday's inclusion on the bench a welcome development for Tottenham. His workload will likely be managed carefully given the nature of the injury and the length of time he has been sidelined. A gradual reintroduction to action is the most probable path forward as he works his way back to full fitness.

APRIL 18 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Maddison (knee) is not yet an option for play, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Impact Maddison was back in team training this week but is not being rushed into action, as the attacker will instead sit out another contest. This continues his season-long absence, still yet to see the field this campaign. However, with his return to training, a return this season is still a possibility, likely an option in May if this is the case.

APRIL 17 • ROTOWIRE

Back in team training Maddison (knee) is making good progress in his recovery since he was spotted back in team training Thursday, the club posted.

Impact Maddison has been grinding his way back from an ACL injury that has sidelined him for months, and while the recovery is trending in the right direction, the quick turnaround ahead of Saturday's clash against Brighton likely comes too soon for him to be in the mix, meaning he will need a bit more time before returning to competitive action. The midfielder is expected to keep ramping up his fitness in the coming weeks with the goal of making a real impact before the end of the season under new coach Roberto de Zerbi.

Impact Maddison is still working individually as he returns from a knee injury and has yet to join team training, although he is receiving a positive update. He is now eyeing a return at the end of the season if he continues to trend in the right direction, possibly an option in May. However, this will depend on his recovery, needing to face no setbacks and a clean bill of health in the build-up to his return.
