James Maddison is expected to play against Liverpool on Saturday.
James Maddison likely to be available for Saturday’s Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool.
The forward has been in excellent form for Spurs this season. He has scored two goals and assisting four times in seven games across all competitions.
Last weekend in the North London derby, Maddison assisted on both of Tottenham’s goals against Arsenal. However, he had to leave the game late at the Emirates Stadium due to a knee injury.
The impact on the attacker’s knee joint caused severe concern at first, but Maddison was able to return to his feet and complete the match shortly after.
According to football.london, the former Leicester City playmaker has been practicing on grass this week, fueling speculation that he will be eligible for Liverpool’s encounter.
“I had a little moment when I tackled Jorginho where I jolted my knee a little bit,” Maddison said.
“I had to come off for the last little while,” the player said.
He further stated, “because you never want to be playing in a derby where you are not at 100 percent because it can cost the team.”
