Ready for starting minutes

Maddison is ready for starting time following his long injury absence, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi, per Alasdair Gold of Football London. "Maybe yes [he can start]. You need to play many games to reach the best physical condition, but there are players able to be important even if they play 10-15-20 minutes, and James is one player like this. Right now, he is ready to start the game, but I don't know if we will start with him. I'm waiting for that moment."

Analysis: Maddison is finally getting the green light to begin starting matches following his long recovery from injury, last starting a game in the 2024/25 season. However, it appears Tottenham will be cautious and wait for the right moment to give him the start, not rushing the player back into the role. If he can return to his former self once back in a starting role, it will be a huge boost to the Spurs' season, recording nine goals and seven assists in 31 appearances during his last season fit.

Still building fitness

Maddison has been working with the team for the last 10 or 15 days and still has to build fitness, according to coach Roberto De Zerbi. "James is working with the team the last 10 or 15 days. Maybe less than 15 days. He needs to be fit, to stay in a good condition. When he arrives in the best condition, he is very important for us."

Analysis: Maddison recently made only his third appearance of the season, coming off the bench for 15 minutes in the Carabao Cup loss to Liverpool and attempting two shots that were saved, with manager De Zerbi acknowledging at the time he wasn't ready to start given the demands of Premier League intensity. A regular starting role could come once he's fully fit, though that isn't expected until after the October international break in a best case scenario.
