Team news | De Zerbi 'thinking about' Maddison, remains a maybe
Roberto De Zerbi admitted he is 'thinking about' James Maddison but is cautious about rushing him back to match action following his long-term knee injury.
Our number 10 returned to full training last month and has been included in the last three matchday squads as an unused substitute due to his experience and importance within the group.
Madders hasn't featured competitively in a Spurs shirt since our Europa League semi-final first leg against Bodo/Glimt on 1 May 2025 before sadly rupturing his Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) during pre-season tour ahead of this campaign.
After a long spell on the sidelines and given the intensity and rhythm of the Premier League, our Head Coach was still unsure whether the creative talent was physically ready for match action ahead of Leeds United on Monday (kick-off 8pm UK) but has been impressed by his qualities in training.

James Maddison will still have a crucial part to play in Tottenham's relegation battle in the coming weeks, according to our Spurs reporters Alasdair Gold and Ryan Taylor.
The 29-year-old England international is now nine months on from that anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered during Spurs ' pre-season tour in South Korea and has been on the bench for the past three matches for Roberto De Zerbi's side. However, Maddison has not featured so far as he and the club time his return for the right moment.
When asked on Friday afternoon at his press conference ahead of the 2-1 win at Aston Villa about when the midfielder will return to Premier League action, De Zerbi had said: "I don't know, I would like to play with him, because he's a special player, he's a different player, but we have to consider the physical condition, a lot of things. But I think he can be important in the next three games."

Tottenham Predicted Team Vs Leeds In Huge Premier League Relegation Clash
The Monday Night Football clash is a huge one in the context of the Premier League relegation battle.
Tottenham play host to Leeds at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Spurs one point outside of the relegation zone in 17th place.
Following results on Saturday and Sunday, this is Spurs' game in hand and they know they can move four points clear of the drop zone with only two games left to play with victory over a Whites side who learned on Sunday that their survival in the top flight has now been guaranteed.
Roberto De Zerbi does not have any fresh injury concerns going into the match – which in itself is an achievement for a Tottenham team that has been stung hard by injury problems throughout the entirety of the 2025/26 campaign.
