The Lilywhites faithful breathed a collective sigh of relief as midfield maestro James Maddison made a triumphant return to full training this week.
After three months on the sidelines nursing an ankle injury, the number 10 is back with his teammates at Hotspur Way, laser-focused on Friday night’s mouthwatering FA Cup fourth-round encounter with Manchester City.
Maddison’s absence since November’s clash with Chelsea has been a significant blow for Tottenham.
The summer signing from Leicester City had enjoyed a dream start to life in north London, scooping the coveted Premier League Player of the Month award in August and dazzling fans with his creative spark.
With three goals and six assists in just 11 league appearances, his early impact was undeniable.
But fear not, Spurs fans! After a well-deserved winter break, the squad is back with renewed vigor and Maddison was seen putting in the hard yards alongside his teammates as manager Ange Postecoglou put them through their paces.
The Enfield training base buzzed with excitement as the playmaker weaved his magic amongst the squad, his return adding a crucial dose of attacking firepower ahead of the tantalizing cup tie against the Man City champions.
With Maddison back in the mix, Tottenham now boasts a potent arsenal as they prepare to lock horns with Pep Guardiola’s Citizens.
Can the talismanic midfielder inspire his team to an FA Cup upset? Friday night under the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium lights promises a spectacle not to be missed!
