James Maddison injury recovery and Tottenham return

Overview

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison is preparing for a return to professional football following a long-term anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. The injury, sustained in August 2024, sidelined him for 375 days and caused him to miss much of the 2025-26 season, during which the club narrowly avoided relegation.

Maddison has described the recovery period as the ‘toughest of his life’. During his rehabilitation, he managed significant personal changes, including the birth of his second set of twins.

As he prepares for the upcoming campaign, club reports indicate Maddison is expected to be named captain. He has expressed support for new manager Roberto De Zerbi, noting that the coach’s attacking style is well-suited to his play.
