Due to an ankle injury, the England international has not played since November; however, he is currently back in training and eligible for selection.
Having the £40 million summer acquisition available could be crucial for Tottenham in their attempt to defeat the holders City, since the FA Cup is a top objective for the team this season.
James Maddison could be crucial to Tottenham’s victory over Manchester City. Speaking to the media through Charlie Eccleshare, Postecoglou confirmed that Maddison will be healthy enough to potentially start for Tottenham against City, which would be a huge injury boost for the north London team. When asked about the most recent fitness updates leading up to tomorrow’s FA Cup match, Postecoglou said, “Everyone’s ok from the last game. Deki’s recovered from illness. “The boys had four days off last week, which was good. Madders has been training with us, has had a full training week. He’s in a good place. He’s available to start.”
Tottenham’s track record against City in north London is already one of the most outstanding records in recent Premier League memory, and the return of Maddison will build confidence in the Spurs squad.
Prior to his injury, Maddison was among the Premier League’s top playmakers and the center of Postecoglou’s offensive scheme, which turned Tottenham into one of the most lethal teams in the league.
And with the former Leicester player back and maybe ready to start, Tottenham has a great chance to defeat City and record yet another historic victory.
Furthermore, a triumph tomorrow night would position Tottenham for an amazing run to the FA Cup title, the first significant prize the north London team would win since 2008.
