James Maddison is closing in on a long-awaited return to action, handing Tottenham Hotspur a timely boost as the season enters a decisive phase.
The England international has been sidelined for most of the campaign after suffering a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury during pre-season.
The setback occurred in a clash against Newcastle United in Seoul, where Maddison was stretchered off in worrying scenes, immediately ruling him out for the long term.
Since then, Spurs have navigated turbulent waters off the pitch, parting ways with Thomas Frank and Igor Tudor before turning to Roberto De Zerbi to steady the ship.
Amid these changes, Maddison’s absence has been keenly felt in midfield.
However, in a positive turn, the playmaker has kept fans engaged by documenting his rehabilitation journey.
Most recently, he shared a light-hearted update on social media, showing visible progress in his recovery as Spurs staff captured footage of his leg strength.
“Admin needs to work on the angle of videoing,” he wrote on Instagram.
With momentum building in his recovery, Maddison now appears to be in the final stretch of his comeback trail.
As Tottenham push forward under new leadership, his return could act as a catalyst: adding creativity, composure, and cutting edge when it matters most.
