Tottenham say midfielder James Maddison is a major doubt for Saturday’s Premier League trip to Chelsea after Roberto De Zerbi indicates he is reluctant to take risks over the 29-year-old’s fitness. Spurs are weighing whether to include Maddison following his goalscoring return against Coventry City.
Both reports frame the decision around timing and availability, with De Zerbi citing caution amid a crowded injury list at Tottenham. While Maddison’s recent impact is highlighted, the key uncertainty is whether he can recover in time for what both outlets describe as a significant fixture against Chelsea. One outlet emphasizes the “sweat” around his fitness and the backdrop of Tottenham’s other absences.
