Tottenham Hotspur star James Maddison could be around two weeks away from a return to first-team action Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison could be around two weeks away from a return to first-team action, according to Spurs insider Szy Excl. The Tottenham account and insider has recently become famous for breaking some major news about the North London side and the latest updates around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club. They have proven to be a trusted source concerning all things Spurs after first revealing the team news against Borussia Dortmund in January.

Szy Excl have now claimed this afternoon that the club think Maddison could be ready to return in a fortnight. The Englishman was seen in first-team training yesterday having been out of action for more than 200 days, and it remains to be seen whether he will be indeed fit to feature later this month or early next month. James Maddison got stretchered off against Newcastle United in a club friendly last August, undergoing surgery afterwards for an ACL injury.

Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi could do with such a player 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.
