James Maddison Set for Bench Role Against Wolves – Spurs Manager Roberto De Zerbi

📅 2026-04-24

Tottenham Hotspur playmaker James Maddison, who has yet to feature this season, has returned to team training after recovering from an ACL injury. The 29-year-old was an unused substitute in last week’s 2-2 draw against Brighton.

Newly appointed head coach Roberto De Zerbi confirmed Maddison will again be on the bench for Saturday’s match against Wolves, despite the midfielder experiencing some discomfort earlier in the week. De Zerbi emphasized Maddison’s progress but indicated caution in reintroducing him to full match action.
