Tottenham Hotspur star James Maddison could be around two weeks away from a return to first-team action | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison could be around two weeks away from a return to first-team action.

The Englishman was spotted in first-team training yesterday having been out of action for more than 200 day.

Maddison was stretchered off against Newcastle United in a club friendly last August, undergoing surgery afterwards for a knee injury.

Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi could do with Maddison heading into the final fixtures of the season as he looks to keep them up.

However, Tottenham are unlikely to rush him back into action despite their desperation to escape relegation.

It will be intriguing to see whether Maddison plays anytime soon for Spurs, but the team will concentrate on winning their game against Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.

A defeat will move further away from safety and De Zerbi has been doing everything he can to get the best out of his players.

He reportedly took his players out for a team-bonding meal last night and is hoping they can form a stronger bond heading into the final six matches.

A win against the Seagulls will be huge and Maddison will hope to return sooner rather than later to help his teammates.
