Tottenham handed James Maddison injury update ahead of Crystal Palace

Wait 5 sec.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly received encouraging news on James Maddison’s latest injury, although the midfielder remains a doubt for Saturday’s Premier League clash against Crystal Palace.Maddison went a year and a half without making a start for Tottenham before finally returning to the starting line-up against Coventry City two weeks ago where he scored a stunning opener against his former side.It is no coincidence that Spurs have won two in two after the 29-year-old’s return after failing to win any of their first six games, with the England international adding some much-needed creativity to the Lilywhites’ attack.However, Tottenham supporters’ hearts were in their mouths as Maddison went down at the start of the second half in West London last Saturday before making way for Conor Gallagher.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramJames Maddison injury reportedly not seriousAccording to The Sun, Maddison’s latest setback is believed to be relatively minor, with sources close to the player suggesting the groin problem is not serious.That will come as a relief to Tottenham, given how much football the attacking midfielder has missed over the past 18 months. However, it remains unclear whether he will recover in time to face Crystal Palace on Saturday.De Zerbi is due to address the media ahead of the London derby on Friday afternoon, when he may be able to provide further details about Maddison’s condition and his chances of being involved at Selhurst Park.Two other Spurs players could be back for Crystal Palace clashWhile there are doubts about Maddison’s involvement tomorrow, two other Tottenham players are expected to be available for selection for tomorrow’s London derby.According to The Standard, Lucas Bergvall and Tosin Adarabioyo are both expected to be ready to face the Eagles, although it appears unlikely either player would be able to force themselves into De Zerbi’s starting eleven.Mykhailo Mudryk, Destiny Udogie and Savio are expected to take longer to recover, while Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert continue to rehabilitate from the ACL injuries they suffered earlier this year.READ MORE: Tim Sherwood says former Tottenham star should have played for Real MadridThe post Tottenham handed James Maddison injury update ahead of Crystal Palace appeared first on Spurs Web.
